He is at the animal hospital for 5 days. From there he will be transferred to the shelter (no kill). To me, seems silly to to that when i am willing to take him & pay his fees..

I re-read your post and totally rewrote mine while you were responding to me.

I'm not exactly sure about the picture. There is an "Insert Image" icon with that list of icons above the text entry section (second to the last). You could also try the "Attach Files" feature below the text entry section under "Additional Options".

Sorry, I guess it seems like I'm not on this thread to help...just make demands.

But have pity on the petless!!!

You are such a sweet person - the world needs more people like you!

Personally, I'm of the belief that dogs know how to identify who their owners should be - maybe it's by smell or something?

Anyway, keep us posted on what's going on - sounds like a special meeting between two kindred spirits.

this same thing happened to me - I posted about it here:
http://96.30.11.231/~vfwnk/forum/sho...ighlight=puppy

we loved and kept him for about a week, and I tried to find a home for him with one of my friends who belongs to a group that helps find homes for dogs. she was also a dog care giver at the time. the shelter allowed us to hang onto him for a week to allow anyone to call in and claim him. he was not chipped and had no collar on him.

after no one called, and after we decided it would be best to return him to the shelter, we brought him there. he was so cute! no one is home during the day. I even spoke to 2 of my co-workers who crate their dogs while at work, about how they make that work for their dogs.

the good thing is that the in take person said he would be adopted immediately because he was so cute. I've attached a pic.

Turns out he is a lively puppy - maybe a year. Sweet though. The pic I had was too big. I'll see if I can take another. Not neutered - he will be as soon as the vet will take care of business. "Corky" has a wellness check on Tuesday. My dogs do not like how I rocked their world. They have been introduced but not out together. I'll have to take that slower. Luckily Corky is not interested in my cats.

Congratulations Deb. Welcome Corky. A good way to introduce them is to take them for a walk together. Also introduce not face to face but side by side. I don't know how many dogs or family members you have but if you can all go out for a walk together it helps them to bond and feel part of a pack. Don't know if I am posting anything you don't know but just a suggestion. Best of luck with Corky.

Welcome home, Corky!

I'd love to see a picture when you're able.
