Found a dog unsure how to proceed. So on black Friday a small brown pekingese mix was found in the middle of a busy road his fur so frozen he could barely walk.
A lady from a nearby church stopped and picked him up and she held onto him for a few days hoping a owner would surface no one did.
My grandmother was dropping off some donations for a homeless clothes drive and seen him the lady said she was actually on her to take him to the pound, my grandmother said that she would take him and continue trying to find his home.we put up ads on craigslist kijiji and our local paper and we have a local site just for dogs we also put an ad up there and we filed a report with the police.We took him to be scanned for a microchip(not one) we put up found posters on all the street lights and telephone polls for about a mile and in local businesses.
No one has come forward.
He was very itchy and he was not eating so my grandmother took him to the vet who said he was stressed and gave him some pills, he also said that he thinks the poor little thing was mistreated and probably dumped (based on some behaviors and that he said the dog looked like it had never been properly fed) he is only 6 months old and already has rotting teeth.
My grandmother called the dog warden because if you take a stray dog in to the vet if you provide the records you can get your registration tags for free.
The dog warden told her to take the signs down and keep him if she wanted him.
should we stop looking for his owners and just keep him, we have all fallen in love with him and its almost been two weeks and no word we are very torn between giving him back to someone who is not treating him right,and thear being someone out there who has no idea wear thear pet has gone.
Any advice? what would you do if put in this situation?
