Free - Friendly Dog to GOOD home

Hi all ? this friendly guy was a stray, and is currently living at ShallowFuzz?s grandmother?s house in Glendale (north of DFS). We believe he was someone?s pet, but we have searched for an owner since Mother?s Day, to no avail. He had a companion, but Animal Control got her and? :cry:

Grandma and Fuzz?s uncle were going to keep him, but the truth is that they really cannot afford to feed him and take proper care of him. Plus, he is becoming more comfortable and playful with them and Grandma is afraid he will cause her to fall (she is small and brittle and 89). She has called us twice to ask us to call Animal Control. We do not want him to go to Chipley. We would take him, but we already have three dogs and two kitties and it is hard to finance them as it is.

No clue as to how old he is, but we believe he is fairly young. For example, I thought he was neutered, but I didn?t ?examine? him. :blush:

Fuzz looked again and says no, they are just small.

We have called Alaqua Animal Rescue and hope to get him in there, but currently they do not have a kennel available. While we wait, I am hoping a SoWaller needs a good dog. Anyone interested can PM me or ShallowsFuzz, and we will arrange for you to meet him.

Thanks?

Ok, so inserting photos didn't work. :bang:

I have two pictures of him in the Photo Gallery, under "Pets." :wave:

He is a sweetheart. :blush:

Thanks to Savvy I guess those pics are of the dog. This is so sad....I've seen a number of dogs running around of late with a bewildered look on their faces. I tried to catch one, but he was too spooked.

I will ask around.

Yep, that's him. Fuzz tried to take one of him looking into the camera :wub:

, but he was far more interested in the bag of food Fuzz brought. In his position, I would be too.

Everytime I look at him I think his coat pattern looks like a cow.

Mooooo.

That would be a good name for him!

We are going to go up and get a pic of him looking into the camera this weekend. Grandma is about to lose patience with us.

UPDATE - dadgum it

It's been really hard for us to make any progress with the dog, especially with having to work AND with our own personal pet missing...so the family in Glendale reports that Animal Control has been called. I do not know if the doggie has been picked up yet. They just could not keep him any longer. Even if Grandma wasn't turning 89 on Tuesday and getting increasingly feeble, they do not have the funds to feed him anything but table scraps, much less veterinary care, and we personally do not have the resources or room for another medium-to-large dog.

Many thanks to all who we spoke with, and to all who e-mailed me...it's unfortunate that there are just SO many animals who are abandoned, lost, or need a good home. Our local rescue agencies do an excellent job, but they are overwhelmed. Absolutely overwhelmed.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but please, please sterilize your pets unless you plan to professionally breed them, and invest in the microchip too. :blush:

Sorry Shallowsnole- I know this makes you sad. Thanks for trying.

No, you are not preaching to the choir. Please people, spay and neuter, and also be responsible with planned litters (3 litters max for one dog's lifetime)- the world has too many puppies and kittens!
