We had a stray show up this evening - no collar, but very friendly. She curled up on the doormat as if she has nowhere to go. Right now she’s asleep in a crate on the porch, door open so that her family can collect her if they’re looking, with food, water & a blanket. I’ll take pictures in daylight tomorrow and post them around the neighborhood, but we may well have a new dog. We’ll see how the rest of the crowd likes her if she’s still here Monday.
I’m hoping she came down with somebody who’s visiting and just wandered off and doesn’t know where to go back to. Steve thinks she may have been dropped, because the mark of the collar is still in her fur. She looks like a foxhound, but I didn’t think they got that large - Steve’s estimating her at 60 lbs.
Anybody got suggestions? I know our local animal control is overwhelmed, and I don’t want a well-mannered girl put down just for being homeless.
Keep her.
God just gave you a gift.
Don’t return it.
He hates that....:)
“If you take in a poor, sick, starving dog, feed him, heal
him and help him prosper he will not bite you. This is the
principal difference between a dog and a man.”
