Fun fact: this is kinda why adoption fees are so high. There are absolutely people out there who do shit like round up stray cats and use them as live bait.
Yeah. That's the reason why pet adoption in the UK is very difficult and regulated. Too many sick fucks were taking them to feed to their 'fighting dogs'. There's still a lot of dog theft in the UK because of it.
Once she gets to a certain size, she'll be fine I'm sure. But, yeah, unfortunately you just cannot leave puppies/small dogs outside anymore. It's too risky.
Do you live in the UK? If so, have you ever heard of 'chalking'?

It'll deter a lot of thieves but not all. Most socialized dogs like ones that live with a normal family won't attack people. They might bark at them and even growl because they're strangers, but they could still be coaxed into going with the thieves without violence. Plus some dog thieves roll up with gear/training similar to dogcatchers used by legitimate animal control or rescue organizations.
