I FOUND a dog yesterday...
 

I found a cute little Terrier of some kind yesterday. My husband and I were walking our Yorkies and this cute dog just ran out in the road and came bounding toward us. Scout just went off the hook barking that high-pitched "there's a really scary dog running toward us" bark. My husband picked both our yorkies up and I called to the dog and it came to me. He had a collar on with no ID. I told my husband to take the yorkies back home and I would knock on some doors with the dog to see where he belonged. I vowed never to let an obviously well-cared-for dog run free again after losing Pippa and others saw her but didn't pick her up. (We DID find her-different story). This terrier I found didn't have any fear of cars, and was clean and friendly. Nobody knew where he came from....I called the animal shelter and they told me I could either keep him with me or bring him in. My yorkies were scared to death of him for some reason, so I took him to the animal shelter hoping his owner would come looking for him. They said he looked like a Rat Terrier. They are supposed to call me if his owner doesn't come and claim him because I said I do not want him euthanized-I would take him back before that happened. I am going to call tomorrow and see if he's been found-I can't stop thinking about the sweet little guy!

Thank goodness you got to him b4 a car did! I hope his owners find him too! Poor lil guy

Im so glad you saw him and stopped. I hope he finds his way back to his owners.Are you going to keep him if they cant find the owners?Did you get a pictures of him?

I have been thinking about it. Three dogs is probably too much. He is really rambuncious! My best friends mom lost her 17 year old dog (old age) about 6 months ago and she's been looking for another little dog for her mom. She immediately popped into my mind as being a good home. Surely someone will claim him though. He was such a cutie, and clean, well-cared for. I tried to attach a pic from the internet, but couldn't get it. He looks kind of like a Jack-Russel with a longer snout. Look up "rat terrier" on the web. He looks just like them.

GOOF For you saving him...with Cars and Big dogs and who knows what else out there a little dog doesn't have a good chance in the world and you really did a wonderful thing stopping and taking him in....I hope his owners DO contact that shelter - it should be one of the first places they look and hopefully they'll be reunited - poor baby - he must have been So scared ! Way to go..... :thumbup:

that was so sweet of you, I knew you had a huge heart.. Hopefully he finds his home. Keep us updated...

Oh I bet his family is missing him so much and worried sick. Thank goodness this little one is in a safe place for now and hopefully the owners will find him there.

If not I do hope he finds a great home soon and doesn't decide to take a walk by himself again and get lost.

This is so great of you helping him out as you are! :thumbup:

Thank you so much for helping this little guy. I wish there were more people like you. SO sweet and awesome from your part. I hope his owner find him soon, if not I know you will find him a great home.

I hope that if I ever loose my Smudger that someone as helpful, thoughtful and friendly finds him.

:) :) Hope his owners find him :) :)
