If you want to put a phone number up on CL, you could set up a google voice phone number to your cell phone so you don't have to give out your personal number. It's quick, easy, and you can turn it off when you are done and don't have to answer it if you don't want to....you'll know if someone's calling from it because it will announce it as google voice.
Boy, that little guy sure is cute. My Ricky was a runaway and the rescue I got him from tried to catch him for a long time. Finally they had to live trap him...and why he wouldn't come to anyone, I don't know, because this dog loves everyone. He was 2 1/2 lbs when they picked him up.
There was a family who had reported a yorkie missing right around the same time the rescue started seeing Ricky running around, so they contacted the family. They had already gotten another puppy because it had been so long since he went missing(1-2 months), but they said "yep, that's my dog" and took him home...and then a week later, they called the rescue back and said "nevermind, that's not my dog" and they took him back to the rescue. I am pretty sure it was their dog. You don't take a dog home for a week and THEN figure out it's not your dog...He was gone for a few months, but not long enough for someone to forget what their dog looked like. It's ok though...because now he's with me.
Anyways....I guess in my ramblings, what I am trying to say is....maybe this little guy has been missing for a while and maybe the owners were trying to look for him at first and then gave up because it had been so long and they assumed he was found by someone else or dead. I have no idea how my little dog(who's now just barely 4 lbs) survived on the streets for 1-2 months in Michigan in the winter...but he did!!
I am glad that you're looking for his owners, but you're also willing to let him stay if you don't find them!! Either way, he's one lucky little guy to have survived his ordeal out on the streets!! |
