I also live in michigan, my first thought was that I could make room for her in my home, but then I put myself into the shoes of someone who had lost their dog and I believe you should try to find an owner first. I know how badly my heart would ache if any of our dogs went missing. It would not subside for months, imagine all of the different scinerios you'de have to think of that could happen to a lost dog: death, got hurt, went to house that was mistreated etc... IF someone is looking for their dog they are probably so sick to death and the thought of not knowing what happened is almost worse than just being without your dog. If you cannot find anyinfo to follow to re-unite give me a p.m. and we can talk further, but I insist you try to find the original owners first, it would not feel right taking a dog who has people missing her that she is already bonded to. I agree that just a small amount of time would make a little house dog very dirty by the time you got her. I would also call the humane society etc, there are a lot of people (older people etc) that would not turn to the internet to poat lost ads.... The firts place an internet-free person would try is your local humame society etc. Like I said though, I would help w/ re-homing if need be. I will be travelling over to that side of the state two times in the next month. |
