that's in the rescue forum, because i can't see putting a perfectly good dog to sleep just because he's old. Not a thing wrong with the dog - he's just old.
Now... what do I do with him???
I took him to visit a potential adopter today, she decided she didn't have enough time for a dog. Another person who was interested never called me back.
So I'm at odds here, because I don't have the room to keep an intact male dog, nor the funds to neuter him. He's a perfectly nice dog, though I suspect his previous owners did not pay any attention to him at all as he does not seek out nor respond to human attention much... he might have been a mostly outdoor dog. He is underweight. Like I said, though, he is intact, and I live in fear of him urinating all over my house, though he does seem to be housebroken. He's good with my dogs, rather indifferent to it all. He'd be a good dog for someone wanting a companion that doesn't demand much out of them.
i sent emails to a couple local area rescues but i don't expect much there. He just doesn't mesh with my household enough that i could continue to care for him while searching for a forever home, unless that forever home comes up in the next few days.

suggestions?
