Christmas stray needs a home

[madchestermonkey]

So I picked up a stray dog yesterday near my in-laws in WV, He would not get out of the road so I figured I would get him back to the house and try to find the owner. He is in good shape but had no collar. I tried as many close houses as I could but had no takers and as it was Christmas Eve no shelters were open. The wife did a local face book post but nothing has come of that. Apparently animals are dumped quite regularly in that area

Much as I would love to keep him we have 2 rescues already and we don't have the room for a third. If anyone can suggest a shelter a I try calling in the morning I would be very grateful, the closest one to my in-laws is a kill shelter.

I'm in the Ohio valley right now and will be driving back to montgomery county tomorrow so if it's en route it's fine with me, I would love to see this guy get a home.

He's got a very sweet demeanor, in the time we have had him he has not made a noise. He's been fine with kids and other dogs. He's not fixed, my guess is he's been an outdoor dog, he seems to have been careed for. He's about 25lbs, probably a mix, looks like some beagle in there.

If anyone has any places to suggest I'd appreciate it.



Either post here or Pm me

Thanks guys and merry Christmas

Calling a friend over there with 2 beagles and a big heart.
He looks like a sweety.
Thank you for going the extra mile to look out for him.

Good luck and Merry Christmas.

Let me see what I can do here in MoCo. Got a fee leads working and in a DIRE emergency might be able to take the guy my self. No promises on either scenario but I will try.

Stop at the first open Vet and see if he's chipped.

 

[madchestermonkey]

Thanks guys, the local vets is my first stop in the morning to see if he has a chip. I will post an update if there is any news on that score.

Mighty good looking dog for someone to just get rid of. Hope he's chipped and ya find the owner. We are full up with two 9 year old border collie sisters.

Thanks for being good! Don't drop him at a shelter, keep us in the loop.

A welled cared for good looking pet, probably slipped his leash.

 

[madchestermonkey]

Well no chip and no missing reports. Looks like he's going to be needed a home.
If anyone is interested please let me know

Got off the phone with the boss and my wife said we can't take him but our friend who is in the rescue scene recommended the humane society or animal welfare league.

Oh man this kills me. I wish I could help.

 

[madchestermonkey]

Thanks everyone, we might have a lead on a home down here. If that doesn't pan out I'm hoping to get to one of the humane society's

My friend's boss is willing to meet you here in MoCo to see the dog if things fall through with what you have going on. PM me and I can get you guys in touch.

If you have the dog in a few weeks Pm me.

We will hopefully be moving to the new house within a couple weeks. I want a puppy for my daughter. It would depend on its temperament of course, and I cannot promise, but it is a possibility I could take it.

Is he house-broken?

 

[madchestermonkey]

Pm sent mil-surp, bossman will keep you posted, he's got a great temperament, youngest he was around was my 9 yo niece.

Sthomas, so far he has been great, we kept him in the laundry room and garage for 2 days with no messes, he's been in my car for 3 hours and done great. I can't say for sure though that's he's house broken

 

[Vetted84]

He looks well taken care of, almost have to believe someone is looking for him.

 

[madchestermonkey]

Just an update, he made it home with me today, he's bathed, fed and watered. Tomorrow starts the search to find him a home, we have reached out to some folks tonight so fingers crossed!

Thanks to everyone who has responded!

Sorry it didn't work out with my connect Steve. As I said in our text conversation you rock for doing all this for a stray you just met, it shows the heart of a good man. Thinking good thoughts for you and the pup.
