When I arrived at home after work on Wednesday I found someone placed a dog in my backyard. I presume abandoned. It was too dark and risky for me to make any kind of assessment of the dog plus I have my evening chores to do and 5 other dogs that need my attention. For the evening I isolated the guy in the garage with food, water, toys, and cloth comfort. Poor guy it was cold last night. In the morning when I was able to get a better look at him, he looked overall healthy but underweight and has an infected eye. I applied a flea application, medicated his eye, and checked his stoole. He is pretty friendly to me so I started the process of introducing him to the other dogs. All went well except for Marvin the Coonhound (male dominant dog) kept a close eye on Newdog. The dog has no name so I refer to him as Newdog. I went around the neighborhood and asked people if they knew anything about this dog. One family told me he has been around for about 3 weeks and couple of other families befriended him but did not take him in. I got no information. (By the way I did not care if I interrupted anyone's Thanksgiving). Not sure what I am going to do except take it day by day. Not sure if my organization will take him in as part of the foster program either. Tomorrow I am going to try and get him into the rescue organization#%92s vet for spay/neuter and vetting. I have a spare kennel that I use for emergencies and medical rehab so the dog can stay and at least have good night sleeps.
