Found a dog, Need Input

[Jennifer and Jack]

It is thundering and lightening pretty bad here today. As I was driving I found a stray dog. I used one of my extra loop leashes that don't require a collar to catch. He was walking out in front of cars.. When I pulled the car over and opened the door, he hopped right in and gave me a look like it is about time.

He is a pit bull/ retriever type dog and I didn't realize he was a pit bull or I may have been more cautious.. All I could see was this adorable cute young male dog running around in the rain. He had no collar, I brought him to my vet and he didn't have a microchip either.

Let me tell you this dog is a character. He got my heart in one minute. He was well behaved, He sat and  looked at me as I explained the story to other people of him. When the vets came out to see him, he promptly rolled on his back and waited to be pet.

The vet said they could not keep him but I think when my eyes popped out of my head they agreed to keep him for the weekend and allow me time to try to find his owner.

I made up over 100 flyers and put them in the mail boxes of two neighborhoods. I called the local rescue places and they told me that they could not take him either. Apparently Pit Bull mixes is mostly all the shelters have around here and they are maxed out.

I can not turn my back on him and I can't bring a huge in tact pit bull mix dog into my house, Jack will have a fit.. or get eaten because he will pick a fight.

I have put it on my facebook, handed out flyers. Do you have any other ideas that I can do. I have until Monday till they turn him over...

I hate people who are irresponsible with their dog.. He obviously was cared for had some training, but I was told he has often been found running loose.. I wonder if I did him a disservice by picking him up and he would have found his own way home.

Any ideas who I can call? I will not allow him to go into a kill shelter.

Pits have a bad rap and from what I have been told from pittie owners they are fantastic family dogs - with training and socialization!!!!  Bless you for taking him to the vet where he will be safe!

send me some info and a picture if you have one.

I am friends with one of the guys from Rescue Ink. They may be able to help somehow!
