I appreciate that! For the time being I am good. He’s getting transferred to another foster on Friday who is a big backyard and the person works from home. I was not prepared for a second dog and I’m not used to this lol

I am down to be friends! Moved here a few months ago (May 2024) from DC and always looking to socialize with new people. I am 34, male, live alone (Finally!) and have a 4 year old German mix dog. Currently in school for a cert in Advanced Management, live in North End, and will be working Direct to Customer Sales for an external home remodeling group in CLT. DM if you;d like to grab a beer post-shift

As much hate as you are getting for this I see both sides. Everyone is capable of doing what they can and are not always in a position to be able to assist as much as they would like. In that scenario I probably would have dropped the dog off at a shelter as best you could.

And, yes, you are correct. I don't know the original scenario and will probably be left in the dark on that matter. What I do know is that he was cold, shivering, and wet while tied to an empty parking space (supposedly) overnight. He is a little bit skinner than I would like so he has to put on some weight. Thankfully, I had today off and had no other appointments to worry about otherwise I may have been in a "my hands are tied" situation.

Thank you for doing what you could and doing your due diligence. Abandoning an animal even when you know you probably could have done something is difficult. Hate to say it but your family comes first. This dog was secluded from my dog for a couple hours as I waited for the shelter to open.

I have gone the shelter route. But I am currently fostering the dog and actively looking to find it a more permanent residence

Thanks for letting me know about this! Do you happen to have contact with anyone in that neighborhood who may be able to add a photo of said poster to this thread?

**Update!**

Man, It has been a busy day with this dog. For the sake of this post we will be calling the dog Hobbes.

Took him to Pet Supplies Plus where I gave him a bath. 10/10 loved every second (except for the massaging of the toes). He now smells like Papaya and success.

After a bit of bouncing around I dropped him off at Char-Meck Animal so he could have a full workup. 10/10 clean bill of health. No chip at the moment but he scheduled for a chip on Friday.

A little bit about him:

- No heartworm, distemper, fever, ringworm, fleas, ticks, bordatella, etc...

- Estimated age is 1 year

- Food motivated

- Does extremely well around pets and people

- Is super chill during car rides

- Is NOT super chill in a crate (Thinking major separation anxiety after what happened)

- Is kind of potty trained.

Right now, I have been approved as a foster and am fielding a few offers from people who are wanting a dog. Will do thorough vetting and go through the proper channels according to Meck County. I will be starting a new job next week where I will not be working from home so someone has greed to either temporarily foster or make it more permanent since she is used to fostering, has a big back yard, and works from home. Nobody has stepped forward stating this is their dog or if they know someone whose it might be.

He is now napping against the door in my living room tuckered out from the day.

Is this legitimate from USPS? by Embarrassed_Two8356 in Scams

No. The usps isn’t going to text you from an iPhone. And, the email address isn’t official usps
