Hello. At about 10:30pm Tuesday January 12th I picked up a dog dogding traffic in between the Burger King and bus stop island in the Intersection where Foster Road, Powell Blvd. and 50th St. meet in southeast Portland.
He was obviously distressed, having been in the street with many cars swerving to avoid him. Some kind bus-riders coaxed him to the bus stop island where I pulled over and loaded him into my car.
He is an older, (maybe 8, 9, 10 years old), large (90-100 pounds) German Shepherd. He looks to be purebred. He is the typical Black /Tan color markings. No collar, but looks healthy and cared-for. He is extremely sweet, calm, and affectionate. He is nuetered and gets along very well with my 3 other dogs. He has VERY distinct ears.
I have posted on Craigslist as well as filed a found report at the Humane Society. I cannot / do not want to keep him, as I already have 3. I would not feel right taking him to the pound, so we are holding onto him for the time being. I am hoping to find his owner, or maybe someone who knows who is owner is.
If you have any information, please contact Wendy at wbruder@hotmail.com or Nate at eldirtman@hotmail.com.
Thank you so much!
Some other things that may help:* Run him to a vet and see if he’s been chipped, although I suspect that if he doesn’t have a collar he won’t have a chip.* Check with nearby vets. It’s probable that the owner goes to a local vet clinic and may have notified them.* There are other sites to report lost pets, such as Pets911.com, but I have no idea how useful/effective they are.* If you put up posters, I’d suggest not including a picture. That way you can have the seeker describe the ears and know they’re the right person.Good luck and good on you for watching out for the dog!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.Alena http://dogfurniture.info
