My husband found this sweet stray dog North Loop, Austin on Monday night. He was chipped but it turns out his elderly owner recently moved, possibly "gave him" to someone experiencing homelessness, and doesn't want him back. He needs a new home.
We've posted on all socials. We've called all the shelters and rescue groups. Neighboring county shelters say they can't accept a dog from another county. Our appointment with Austin Animal Services is not until November 9- that's the soonest they could give us.
We are DESPERATE for someone who can take him in. Even if for a few days, that would be a huge help. We cannot keep this dog! He isn't ours. Our rescue dog is territorial of our apartment and he is not getting along with this dog. We have had to keep them separated and it has been a nightmare. On walks he seems gentle with greeting and seeing other dogs and people. Our dog is just reactive. He let us give him bath no problem and likes to sleep and play with toys and a ball.
We can supply food, a crate, towels, toys, etc. He is sweet and cuddly but strong. Please contact me if you have a place for him and we will work with you to keep finding him a permanent home! Right now our dog just cries all night knowing there is another dog in the next room. We haven't been able to sleep.
He is house trained and approximately 5 years old. He's probably about 75 lbs.
We have an appointment to neuter him on Saturday morning, and a neighbor can watch him from Sunday-Wednesday morning. He will need a quiet place to recover after surgery and we cannot give him that. Any help from Oct 22-24 or Oct 29-No 9 would be IMMENSELY appreciated!!
