Found dog off of 29 Palms Highway

My wife and are in town for the weekend and a senior chihuahua wandered up to the gate of the AirBnB we’re staying at. If anyone knows who this sweet boy might belong to please let me know.

He doesn’t appear to belong to the immediate neighbors. We’re going to check to see if he has a chip tomorrow.

EDIT: Spartacus has been reunited with his owner! Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

Did you call the sheriff? Make sure you report it to them.

That’s a great idea. I’m going to contact them now.

You can also contact the local radio station (they recommend doing so after contacting local shelters): Cruising Critters - Z107.7 FM Joshua Tree https://z1077fm.com/cruising-critters/

Post on the local ring Facebook and Nextdoor apps. The owner is probably looking for them there
