Am Furious - Dog dumped, now they want him back?

[bmccasland]

He's cute! Needs a better name - after someone who vanquished/out-smarted their foes.

Hope he finds a loving home, not with previous owner's son.

Yeah, FootFoot is a pretty odd name IMHO I've been calling him Lt. Fuzz, after Sarge's dog in the old comic strip Beetle. My brother suggested Capt. Jack, which I think is even better.

He IS cute, and so sweet. That makes the idea of sending him back to them harder. Not that I've ever had a foster dog that didn't deserve a decent home. I don't care if the home a foster gets is poor and just has enough to feed and care for a dog, so long as it's really, really loved & gets the best they can offer.

This story has me on the edge of my seat!
I would not give him back. But then I have called out the neighbor down the street for having 2 dogs they never ever took care of. I didn't care. The dogs were taken from them (one could not walk and was lying in his own poop) they are not allowed to have any animals now. I could care less if they don't like me either. They own a local business and I tell people not to shop there and why. All my other neighbors love me anyway. lol

That dog deserves the best. An angel led him to you, knowing that you would do right by the pooch.

How about Hercules, or David (who vanquished Goliath)

sweet! you didn't give them your name or address!! YOU are a genius!!

People are AMAZING. If I knew I could, I would not give him back.

I just adopted a Chihuahua mix (probably chiXborder ter cross) and he was fostering with a friend until they could get him neutered and adopted. I went to pick him up after his neuter/microchip. I held him as I walked across the parking lot until I heard a dog squealing. I looked over and saw a Westie hurling through the air towards a car. It hit the side (they were trying to put it in the car, apparently) and squealed some more and then ran to me. I recognized it because while I was waiting for him to get the okay to leave the place, these stupid people came in wanting to drop their dog off temporarily while they left town. the HS told them NO WAY and they went on their marry way.

Well, anyway. I have my dog, an e-collar, and this dog is following me. The guy tells me to help him with his dog and I tell him that he can go take a flying leap. The dog hides under my car as I put my dog inside and crack the windows. Well, the dog comes out to me and the guy is still running around the other side of the parking lot and calling for it to come out. He thought the dog had ran off. Before he could see me, I picked up the westie and brought it up to the animal control officer who was taking a dog inside. I told the AC officer the story, left my contact info, and said I had to go because my dog was coming out of anesthesia in the car and it was hot.

I hate stupid people - especially those who take it out on animals. I couldn't believe that these people wanted to dump their dog temporarily. Because of that, if it is legal, I would NOT let the dog go back.

a friend of mine told me to tell you "if they call back, tell them the dog dug its way out of my yard and I haven't seen it since"

I think the dog my sister and I found (Millie) was dumped or abandoned. The vet told us she had been brought in as a stray before, and that they were legally required to give the dog back to the owners when they claimed her. She said, though, that if they came looking for her this time, she was going to tell them she didn't know where the dog was.

That was two months ago, and I still won't take her out into the front yard 'cause I'm afraid the people who had her before (and who neglected her to the point of abuse) will see her and try to take her back. Of course, now that she's healthy, she's unrecognizable from the dog she was two months ago.

I hope you find a way to not let those people have that sweet doggie back.

What a sweet dog! He's lucky you came along.

My sister's dog Jack was found in a ditch. A taxi driver saw someone toss him out. He looks like Toto, with a crooked jaw. At sometime he must have had a broken jaw that didn't heal properly. He's the sweetest boy, a massive 9 pounds.

He's officially a TE dog so, Thor. Thor will smash! You did the right thing. I'm sure somehow his Mom's up there cheering you on for rescuing him and jeering her family for dumping her furbaby.
