Oh that poor, poor dog. I'm glad you called, Dan. and I wouldn't be thrilled with the compost pile either. if it's confined..it's annoying. if it isn't...it's attracting wildlife, rats included.
i hope that poor boy gets out of there asap.
deaf dogs particularly fret when there left alone and being chained outside is not good for any dog especially a deafie.
i wish i lived closer, id doggynap him!
I agree 100%. I would flat out steal him as soon as I had contacted a rescue for him. 6 months old...it shouldn't be hard to find a home for him if he is friendly. The longer you wait the harder it will be to find him a good home.
It is hard to encourage someone to commit a crime (theft) but one could argue that not taking that dog is much more of a crime.
You are in a very tough spot....you will do the right thing.
