I would like to clear up something. We are just passing through this place. We found the pup literally right out in the middle of no where. We aske the officer if he knew anyone lived around where we found the pup and he said no. Been getting freezing temperature at night, which was why we were horrified he suggested we just let the dog loose. The county doesn't take dogs.
Jesus, there were at least 100 better ideas then just letting the puppy loose again. What a jerk.
That's what the officer said. He said that's what his office recommend people do when they get calls about strays.
Geez, what kind of place has absolutely NO animal shelter at all? I mean, I live in a rural area surrounded by other rural areas, and we have animal shelters as well as local rescue groups. The sheriff here would never recommend just letting a stray dog go off again, to possibly freeze, get run over, or attacked by coyotes. Must be a real nice place to live, NOT.
Update on this. We took the pup to a local vet... Probably the only vet around . The vet said she has not heard anyone looking for a dog like this. The pup is definitely 4 months old. A little malnourished but other than that he is fine. They gave him a flea bath. Looking more likely that he will be with us for good.
some of the best dogs I have ever owned where found or they found me just keep him . someone did not care enough for him to keep him at home or chip him so they just don't care , Keep him and live your life .

I'm really happy for all of you. Have a Merry Christmas with the newest member of your family.
We checked with the county today and they said no one is looking for a puppy of this breed and color. We will check again in a couple days. If still no one looking we are keeping him.
I do feel that even if the pup had slipped his collar as well as a gate or a door; responsible dog owners would be calling and leaving messages with every authority and veterinary facility within at least 10 miles, possibly more, including the county authority. You're behaving responsibly.

Sounds like he's going to have a great home.
