Found a Dog

Well I went out squirrel huntin yesterday and about a mile or so back into the woods i heard this thing sorta sneakin around behind me. i turn around and there is a chocolate lab following me on his stomach. i kept walkin and he did that for about 20 minutes. finally i just called him and he followed me around the rest of the day. then i went to leave and he chased my truck down the highway so i stopped and put him in and took him home. Nicest dog i have ever met. I called the animal control but nobody reported him missing and he doesn't have a collar on him. he isnt but maybe a year old too and is very calm.

 

Keep him!

 

I want to but right now i am in school 8 months of the year and next summer I will be busy all summer and will not be home and then back to school for a year then TBS for 6 months. Its not practical for me to keep him right now. My dad said a guy at the firehouse was interested though so maybe he can give it a good home

 

Just dont take him to the pound. You can look at petfinder.com to either post an add to adopt him to someone or find a no kill shelter that is willing to take him. With the pup being young and a lab it should be hard to find him a home.

 

for sure. when i called the pound and they said nobody had claimed it they asked if i wanted them to pick it up. i told em i would just hold on to it for now and they can call me if the owner shows up

 

Hopefully you find the little guy a home.

 

That could be Molly, reborn. Give the doggy to Chris4x4.

 

If he wants to drive to me in about 2 weeks after giving the owners a chance to find him im sure he could take it. as far as i can tell he was a good owner

 

Most pets now have microchips inside their skin. Take him to a vet clinic and have him scanned. If he is microchipped the vet clinic will be able to tell you the owner.

 

checked the microchip yesterday. none. im wonderin if he was dropped out the back of a truck or somethin cus he seems to have a hip problem. i pulled about 50 ticks off him yesterday so he had been out there a while i reckon

 

Take care of that little guy!

 

Awwwe he sounds super cute! Kudos to you for doing the right thing and trying to find his old owner and not taking him to the pound! Good luck and keep us posted!

 

I say keep the little guy if the owner dose not claim him. A lab will be my next dog.

 

If you can't find a home for him and can't take care of him yourself, there are Labrador Retriever rescues who would be a better option than the pound. With a dog that friendly, I'm sure they wouldn't have any problems finding a caring home for him. An organization like that, dedicated to a specific breed would be a lot better option for him than the pound.

 

Shhhhhh.....

 

I miss my chocolab :\ She got off her leash and ran to the highway a few months back. Cried like a baby.

 

Move along, nothing to see here.................
