Was letting henderson out this morning and this dog wandered around the front yard. Him and henderson tried to play through the fence so he looked pretty nice. I went outside the fence and he ran up and let me pet him. He was so nice and sweet i couldnt just let him keep wandering, so i put henderson in the house and let him in the back yard.
I took him to my vet to see if he had a microchip(didnt even have a collar so i wasnt holding my breath) and had them do an exam on him to check for worms and heartworm (which came back negative). The lady at the front desk said her son would probably take the dog if the owners dont claim him, but i want to give them a day or two to claim him.
I really dont want to take him to the human society because the last stray that wandered to my house i took him there and just didnt get a good feeling about it. They dont answer the phones and walk talk to you about the dog after you bring them in.
I put a sign on my fence with my number saying I found a dog. I put an add on craigs list also. What else should i do? is keeping him till friday enough time then giving him to the lady at the vet?
Also, can he play with my dog if they get along? doesnt seem to have fleas or anything. He DID have hookworms and whipworms so they gave him medicine for that. If i keep the feces picked up should my dog be safe to play with him?
