HELP!! I found a dog

    • Gold Top Dog
    He barks sooooo much. Very jumpy, he mauled my 6 yr old. Does not walk well on the leash. I don't know if this is because he's all confussed, but I believe he has not had any training.
     
    I don't want to call the dog cather to come, but I have to get this guy to stop barking or they will come by someone else calling.

    Having met quite a few JRTs who behave like that,  I'm willing to bet you're right abouthislack of training.  No sense stressing yourself and your family out over his behavior.  I'd call animal control or whoever and have them come get him.  You saved him from getting it by a car, poisoned, etc, which is a heckof a lot more than others around you did.

    He is probably microchipped, be sure they scan him.

    I called 12 people today. One person would say call this person, then call this person. I called the pound an hour ago and they are coming to get him. He will be at the nice dog pound by my house. They are really good here, not like in the city. They will let me know how he makes out.
     
    There are 3 breeders around me and one said she had to go outside to see if he was her's. The other said "oh could be mine, I go see him at the pound"
     
    He jumped into my window and chew the screen right off. He was barking so much, my neighbor came over and said he better be gone by tonight. So to keep the neighbor happy, I thought I better call the pound.  Poor Guy.

    Good for you for picking him up.  Sounds like he may belong to one of the JRT breeders, hopefully one of them will claim him.

    So cute! To me, he doesn't look like a show dog. Isn't that coloring wrong?

    Adorable guy, though. I hope you can find his owner, soon.

    Yes, but, you have cause for a liability action against your landlord who evidently misrepesented what the neighborhood was like when you moved in.

    His behavoir is probably because he got dumped and is wondering where his family is?  :Poor little guy.  What a shame, hope you find him a home, makes me cry.

    Right on the ball Ron, Thank you.
     
    I called and the little guy is still there. I really believe someone dumped him. I would ahve loved to keep him a while longer, but I just can't right now. We are going to be away too much this summer. Even Sara has to go stay with gramma here and there.
