stray dog in neighbors yard - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yavenay · 07-19-2010, 02:18 PM

A stray dog wandered into my neighbhors yard and instead of shooing him away, he helped him. This dog (not a yorkie but a mutt) looks like has been on the street his whole life. His hair was falling off at just the touch, no teeth and all skin and bones. It also looks like he is blind in one eye. My neighbhor didn't have any dog food for him so I quickly grab some of Brandi's food.

He was so emaciated, I almost started crying. My neighbhor feels he was probably abused and from the looks of it I would have to agree. Thankfully my neighbhor was able to enticed him with food, get him tied up and call the ASPCA and they are on their way. I know the ASPCA in Delaware is a kill shelter so more than likely this dog will be put down. My heart goes out to him and hopefully the ASPCA can save his life.

Poor thing a rescue should have been called not the aspca This could be someones Pet that got stolen or lost. JMO

BTW if people saw my cat at 20 She looked Horrible She was sick But not in pain.

I think he called the aspca before I saw him. They will check to see if he is chipped so maybe they can track the owner down. If this dog has not been on the street I don't think I want him to go back to the owner.

Hopefully he will get adopted. Is there a no kill shelter nearby you can contact to take him in or a rescue?

The DE Humane Association is a no-kill shelter. I will check with them tommorrow to see what I need to do to get him there.
