i JUST got a new dog

[dogsarebetter]

well, i found a jack russell. actualy he found me. i was out taking Ruckus to pee and this dog litterly jumps in my arms. i took him in the house. i guess he is staying until i can find the owner. i will look all day tomorrow. he is oviously a house dog. he knows his way around a bed, couch, and human laps. if i cannot find an owner my BF wants him.
what do i do in the mean time??? for tonight?

I'd keep him seperated from Ruckus. You have NO CLUE what vaccines this dog has had, where hes been and IF he has worms etc..

I'd start calling around Vet offices, reporting a found dog.. call to any shelters near by and put up posters for him...

Are you sure that your BF can handle a dog right now?

To be bluntly honest...try very very very hard to find this dog's owner. And if you can't, then let the vet rehome him. The last thing either of you need right now is a new dog.

its wonderful to hear you are helping out a fellow k9 out.

Im gonna back Zoom and Riot on this. Keep seperated, physicly and emotionaly.

Yeah it's better to be safe then sorry, good luck on finding the owners

 

[dogsarebetter]

thanks for the help. its odd! this dog is flea free, smells nice, and like i said def a house dog. i bet its owners are so sad
i can see where it had a collar on

Take him to the local Vets office and have him scanned to see if he is chipped.
While there get the Vet to give him a quick look over.

 

[dogsarebetter]

no chip! and no one at the vets reconizes him. i posted three adds, i called the radio station (they announce missing/found pets) i put an add in the newspaper, i have asked around! i have called the animal shelter too.
so far no luck at all

Why are dog's owner's so hard to find? I mean, if my dog/s were missing I'd be out searching like mad! With color posters and every vet, shelter, radio, pound, store etc within a 50mi radius would know! I swear, some people !!

I hope everything works out - any pics??

I found a jack russell down my street awhile back (we never ever ever see strays)... Asked lopeople on my street (who have lived there for YEARS) - who's is he?? Noone recognised him.

Turns out he lives round the corner - so make sure you knock on ALL local doors. You'll probably find out he hasn't come far.

Any news ?
Please keep us updated

 

[dogsarebetter]

poor thing, i had to tie him up outside because he would not leave my rabbit alone.

I wonder the same thing... Zoey was wandering the street with no collar or tags while in heat! We put flyers all over the neighborhood, reported her as found to the shelters, put found ads online... and never heard a thing! It's really unbelievable.

Good luck finding the owners or a new home for your little stray.
