Adorable pup turned up on our porch today
No collar, so I'm calling her Daisy. She likes Glenn Campbell.
FP Edit/Update:
(Little late, but I've been having some computer issues and never edited a post before. A day of firsts for me)
WE FOUND THE OWNER! As it turns out, a car had been stolen next town over with Maggie (I still like Daisy better, but Maggie's a good dog, too, Bront.) inside. The owners thought she'd been chased into the woods nearby their house and not even considered she'd been in the car. Thief/thieves blew through the backroads we live on and happened to boot her outside my house, she found her way to the house, and we got to spend the day together.
@Perkeleenrektu She likes Bruce Campbell, too. showed her some Army of Darkness while we chilled on the porch waiting for the owners to come get her.
They came to get her and brought her boy with them. After a few rapid fire family tragedies, she was just the infusion of joy I needed (even if it was only for an afternoon.) I hated to see her go, but it was worth it to reunite a family who'd lost a clearly loved member and get to spend the day with an awesome pup!
http://imgur.com/a/hNCct Small dump of our times spent together! I wish i could have gotten a picture of her with her family, but I asked permission and they politely asked not to be featured and I'm a man of my word.

That's how we got our dog! Showed up on a friend's porch and here we are, 6 years later. You're a good human.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do I’m half crazy over the love of you
WorshipTheSun
Love her forever.
Preservesaremyjam
Currently in progress with no end in sight!

You have been visited by pupper Santa, treat your gift well
TheActualDonKnotts
Excellent news edit. Dogs need their people.
Preservesaremyjam
Agreed. They were clearly missing their pup.

Many boops are needed
QuirkyWallace
Even tho the car thief is still shifty, I'm glad he/she booted Maggie out and she found you, a responsible and caring person. Good job @OP!
QuirkyWallace
Meant to say shitty but you get the idea
Doctorfatherson
You're gentle on her mind
Barantor
My dog likes Glenn Campbell too.

Diddly.
Kitakita
Are you now friends with her family? Maybe you can see her again someday
Preservesaremyjam
They seemed appreciative, but not "invite this stranger to my house" appreciative.
Kitakita
aw, oh well. You still did a good thing.
mulligylan
Adios?
LordOfTheGingers
Everyone loves Glenn Campbell!

I'm just a lineman for the county.
ShutUpMeh
If she likes the name Glenn Campbell better, you should respect that
prestodigitation
Awwwww
boozeandbrownies
Name her Alice...Al for short. Alice Zymer. Fuhgeddaboudit
IamVerySleuthy
Can I has the sweet little floof? :)
DatGoldenBoi
She looks to be a blue queensland healer they are amazing dogs good on you @op for picking her up
Preservesaremyjam
That's what we'd been thinking. Definitely blue something.
bbirbb
Definitely Blue Heeler in that pup. Smartest and most loyal dogs you'll ever meet.
Preservesaremyjam
I'm getting that vibe from our time together so far.
pandora9283
@OP is this a War on Everyone reference?
Preservesaremyjam
Never heard of it, in all honesty.

"You're a Daisy if you do"
SomeRandomNobhead
The eat what you want tag makes me uncomfortable.
Preservesaremyjam
It was accidental and I can't change it from mobile so I'm just saying it's for feeding her as much as she wants
SomeRandomNobhead
Nice twist
Guenol
Suuure... hey you do you, if you want to eat a dog hey, no-one is stopping you, but we will judge you... harshly...
Guenol
For real though, one of my dogs is an Australian Cattle Dog (red) that just showed up one day. Great pup.
crazyhornedlizardlady
She looks pretty good for a stray. (Coat is well kept and not skinny) are you trying to find her owners? Someone might be very worried.
Preservesaremyjam
Yep! From what my mom says, she was thrown from a car into a ditch and they sped of. Trying to track down that scumbag. Give em some words.
BeeAtPeace
That's how my sister and I found her pup, Sparky. We found him on my birthday, so now we share one. :)
TotalCuntrol
Jesus Christ. I'll never understand how someone could just abandon their dog like that. I hope she doesn't feel too betrayed :(
Preservesaremyjam
I hope so, too, but we're giving her all the love she deserves while she's with us!
WholesomeRuler
Are you thinking about adopting?
Preservesaremyjam
If we can't find an owner, absolutely!
bobyran
that looks like my friend's dog !! Where are you @OP?
00WinterSun00
There are probably 1000's of dogs that look "similar" in the nation
Preservesaremyjam
Rural Missouri.
bobyran
I just called them to make sure. their dog is ok. This is a doppleganger for sure
HereForTheCutePuppyGifs
@op why only one pictures though. I was disappointed there weren't more :(

Preservesaremyjam
I took a bunch over the day. I can dump those at some point
HereForTheCutePuppyGifs
Edit a few into the description of this post if can :)
probshouldntsayitbut
Please do!
KainWhisper
Thank you for adopting a stray, @OP. Take your upvote. You deserve more for not turning away an animal in need. WTF Eat What You Want tag?
Preservesaremyjam
She's been wolfing down everything I can get her from the fridge and drank quite a bit in the last couple hours. Feeding her what she wants
theHatredburrito
Take her to the vet ASAP, have them scan her for a chip and make sure she is healthy. Especially if you have other dogs around.
Preservesaremyjam
Definitely getting that done later today. We've got two other dogs, but they're around back and she's been up front all day. Haven't met yet
lilwood5
That's a badass cattle dog, very smart and loyal , she's a gem!!!
Preservesaremyjam
Definitely working on acclimating her. Live on a farm and she's smart enough to walk with me places without needing trained
MrBobSaget
Don't over feed her, though. If a dog has been hungry for a while, they will over eat and it can lead to medical problems. Good on you!
Preservesaremyjam
Definitely keeping that in mind. She's a little on the slim side, so I'm keeping a close eye on her intake.
89PercentSureYoureFibbing
Just gotta feed her a lil at a time. Don't think cattle dogs are prone to bloat like other dogs.
thefatlonelyjew
Wow OP adopted a cute friendly animal how heroic
SatansTesticles
A cute friendly animal THAT COULD HAVE DIED! So yes, very heroic.
Preservesaremyjam
Didn't put it out there as a "look at me" more a "look at how dope this dog is." I see where you're coming from, though.
thefatlonelyjew
Between myself, my girlfriend, and my parents, we've adopted 5 homeless cats, all of which are cute and several of which are friendly 1/2
thefatlonelyjew
2/2 if someone legitimately expected me to consider myself a hero because of this I'd want to slap them in the face
thefatlonelyjew
I know you didn't, I was replying to the comment not the post!
iPutTheBSinBSc
Check for a chip anyway
00WinterSun00
My concern would be for the best outcome for the dog, not for the "owners" who managed to "lose" their dog.
omgwtfhuh
May need to track them down & get their help to update chip info. We can't change our cat's chip to us unless the old owners say we can. :(
Preservesaremyjam
On it! She was thrown from a car at the end of our driveway. Believe me, I'd like to find previous owners more than anybody right now.
SomeCrazyNerd
KiLl ThEm AlL!
lambaroo
stating the obvious probably, but have a vet check her over. there may be a medical reason the scumbags dumped her
CristhianIR
In her behalf, thank you. Thank you for everything. I hope you let her stay with you. All the positive vibes for both of you from here.
laton
I doubt the previous owners chipped her if they threw her from a car! I wouldn't return her to them anyways! Eff those people!
AdamSandlersTwinBrother
Second this.
mimblewimble
I wouldn't find a chip and return her to them, either. I'd hunt them down and throw them from a car... off a highway.
Preservesaremyjam
I agree wholeheartedly if it was the previous owners. Gonna give it due process in case she was stolen or something, though.
SendMeReplicasOfYourDick
If you find their info on a chip maybe you can report them for abandoning the dog
pussysensei
I like you. Keep being awesome.
laton
Yes, I agree. Keep us posted on the results!
Preservesaremyjam
Update posted! Now with extra plot twist!
iPutTheBSinBSc
Well, in my naive i thought she was just lost and meant "dont adopt before you make sure nobody is looking for her"
iPutTheBSinBSc
But finding the asshole who threw her is also a good reason. Keep in mind theres a slight chance it was done by other people then registered
Preservesaremyjam
I see your meaning! Didn't mean to come across as hostile. And we've thought of it being different people, too. Just want to find out more.
roaringstar4
Just on the off chance, it could have been a car robbery that wanted to ditch a dog that was in the car. Has happened before sadly
iPutTheBSinBSc
Good luck anyway! 21 years ago my older sister saw somebody dump a puppy in a parking lot, that dog gave us 15 years of joy.
Preservesaremyjam
Just looking at her teeth without having gotten her to a vet yet, she's pretty young. So she might be around a long time
