So thought we had a decent neighbor, they spent yesterday and the day before moving out, was almost sorry to see them go, no signs of anyone at the house since. Yesterday evening wife notices their older dog is still in the back yard but the puppy's gone. She checks again while I'm at work today, knocks on the door to see if maybe everyone didn't move out, nope, these f'ing d-bags abandoned their dog! Took it some food and water after work, it had none, and was just sitting on the porch pawing at the door, poor thing was scared of me. Shoulda known something was up, its been dropping weight like crazy lately and looked like its face got burned or something, whole side is raw.
So Arfcom, what do you do? I'd take it in, but we already have two of our own and no room. Looks like its probably in for a one way trip to the animal shelter  , how long should we wait before reporting it?

Taking in that dog will give you 1000000 karma points. It's the right thing to do. It's often hard to do what is right, which is why it is so often not done.
I'll put my money where my mouth is. I'll paypal you $20 if you take the dog in, to help cover expenses. |

You should, take it in as a foster if you can, find someone else to foster it, find a local rescue to find it a home. Good on you for feeding it.

If it comes down to bringing him to a shelter, which I hope it doesnt. Make sure its a no kill shelter.

Take it in or find a foster. Shelter might not go well for the pup and the original owners are obviously not worthy of taking the dog back in.

Could maybe snap a pic of her tomorrow, its a boxer or pit or some such. It's not the expense that's keeping us from taking her in, but thanks guys, good to know there some decent peple out there.
I wish we could house her, I tend to like most dogs more than most people I meet. Our issues are a tiny house, and the two rescue dogs we already have one of which is old and doesn't socialize well, he still has the occasional issue with our other, last thing we need is dog fights with a new born coming. Unfortunately don't know too many people in the area, wife's been checking around. Don't now of any no-kill shelters here either, with the irresponsible owners around here its hard to imagine such a place having room. |

Thanks to you and your wife for showing concern for this dog. I realize you all have your hands full with two rescues and a baby on the way.
Hope you can find a vet that will board the dog until a home can be found for it. Thanks again, OP. |

Doesn't need to be in your house. But good on you for giving the dog food and water. |

If you can supply food and water and some sort of shelter until we can organize something here, that would be grateful. With all the resources we have on this forum, surely we can find a rescue in your area that can take in the dog.
If you contact animal control, the dog may just end up in a sea of dogs that will likely be euthanized. Just some suggestions. Maybe you can give him/her a dog bed or temporary dog house to have in the yard. Also, maybe you could contact your vet or local emergency pet hospital to see if they'd be willing to board the dog for a couple days or so until we can figure something out here. They'll probably scan the dog for a microchip to see who the owner is, but I'd definitely just hope that they'd ignore that. Just thinking out of the box, but most boarding facilities won't take in a dog unless you have the proper paperwork (shots, vaccinations, etc.) so taking him to boarding facility may not work, that's why I suggested your vet or pet hospital. Keep us posted. ETA: I'm in for $20 as well. I hate people like that. |

Watch out, or the doggie will grow on you/ the fam and you will have to end up keeping it. My wife found a starving momma dog and her pup in the woods, now I am up to 4 dogs.
 Oh well, they are good doggies.

Is this a boxer or boxer mix? My co-worker is a boxer fan. She was talking the other day about possibly getting another dog to replace one that died.
We already have three dogs and a cat and just don't have room. We found one of our dogs starving on the side of the road a few years back. She was skin and bones and had a collar with a lead she'd chewed through. I often wonder if she was abandoned like this. Good on you OP for caring and for everyone willing to help. ETA: So the bastards took their pup but left the older dog? It would be great if they could be tracked to their new location and turned in for animal cruelty. Their pup like as not will suffer a similar fate in the future.

If you could take her to the vet for treatment and shots, I will pay the vet. And then I would pay to have her boarded at a quality kennel. I will pay the kennel in advance for a 30 day stay. And while she's there, we can make arrangements to have her rescued. And if she needs to be relocated, I will pay for her travel expenses. |

My best friend is fostering two 7 week old Ridgebacks that were abandoned on the side of the road. For my retirement until I drop dead I plan on being a non paid volunteer for shelters where ever I may be. The abandoned need all the help and love we can give them. |

Trying to get a hold of lovethemutt.org aka stepping stones dog rescue that was recommended to my wife.
Took a better look around now that its daylight. There's a transport crate/kennel in the yard up against the house so the dog has some protection. It was a rental. I don't wanna see the previous tenants. To the guy that asked, yep they bred her, evidently sold all but one pup, and now that pup's gone and the older dog is still there. Bout 90% certain its a pit. Gotta get my stupid computer to load my SD. |

One of our rescue dogs growing up had been found locked up in a cattle trailer with no food and water...abandoned.
Lady found him and couldn't keep him, but she worked out a deal with the pound to pay to keep him alive until someone adopted him. He was an adult, scared of men and solid black so he was there for weeks. We picked him up and after a few days he got sick with kennel cough. We nursed him through it, and he was the smartest dog I had as a kid. Great animal.
If you can't keep him, find a shelter that is either no kill or that will accept donations to keep the pup alive until he finds a good home if you can. There's a loving home out there for him somewhere. |
