Not directed at anyone other than the OP, please no comments to or about me here...
1. Technically speaking most states have laws specifically governing the finding of animals...the law is not finders keepers...it can actually be considered theft. I still apologies to you for saying that though. Be sure to check your local laws regarding this, I hate to see you in trouble for an intended good deed.
2.Again check you local laws regarding NOTIFYING animal control.
3. I see you were given one link of minimal rescues...on National rescue that has fosters in NJ and one NJ rescue with some outlying fosters. Hopefully other YT members may know of several many in your area! |
If you don't want people to respond to your posts, you are in the wrong place. That is the nature of bulletin boards.
2. Notifying animal control is one thing. Turning a dog into the pound is yet another.
To the OP: My suggestion, if you have not already done it, is to place a call to your local animal control and give them the description of this dog. That way they can see if anyone has been looking. I don't know the laws in NJ, but here in TX if we find one, we can notify animal control, hold the dog for three days and if no one comes forward, legally they have no claim and we can keep the dog. Not that I would want to keep someone's dog..simply saying how it is done there. Most pounds are overrun with dogs and would be happy to have you hold the dog. I see NO reason to put that poor old man in a pound.
Also to the OP: if you need referrals to rescues my suggestion is to go on Petfinder and search to see what is in your area...you can search for yorkies in your zip code. BUT beware: If you want to turn him over to rescue please ask them their policy on seniors with health issues. Sadly some will euthanize him rather than spend money for vetting. Not that euthanasia is always a bad thing...but you need to be very aware.
