View Full Version : Stray Dog
Ed has just gone to work and I had a call from him while he was waiting for his lift.He had fond a dog running round the street who nearly got run over running accross a busy road :( he tried called the owners from the number on the dogs collar but there was no answer,his lift arrived so he rand me again and asked if I could go and get the dog nd bring him home as is didnt want to leave him on the streets.Ive been and got the god and he is so sweet,Ive since tried to call his owners twice but no answer so I left a message saying he was here.
what should I do now?Im happy with him staying here untill his owners contact me as hes no trouble at all,hes happily playing with my 2 the moment but do i need to contatct the police/dog warden or someone?
his name is Tidman he is so sweet

Well done for taking him in Erin. You did make sure the owner wasn't there somewhere before you took him tho :? Maybe in a shop or in the park or something?!?! ;)
I would suggest that if you don't hear back from the owners by tonight maybe you should call the local council's dog warden or the police.
At least he has a collar on - that's some help!!
Good luck with him. Any chance of a pic???

Yes I agree maybe he got out whilst the owners are at work and they may reply to your message after five then if not I would call RSPCA or someone like that.
Well done taking him in is he scared?
there was nobody around charlie i walked around with him before brining him home incase the owners were looking for him.Where he was found its just a main road really,no shops or parks anywhere near :(
He is so lovely and loves a fuss bless him,this is the best pic I could get he hasnt sat still since he got here,hes keeping my 2 busy thats for sure lol -

Heehee - remember that you have to give him back, Erin!!!! lol
He looks lovely. I hope you can trace his mummy and daddy and that they come and get him tonight.
Keep us posted.
Sounds like your two will sleep well later after all this excitement too. :)
I say if your call still isn't returned tonight call them again for a few days (if you can keep him that long...?)..maybe if they still don't return the call but up "found" posters around where he was found? Don't put too much information incase someone comes along and it wasn't really there dog. I would be reluctant to hand him into the RSPCA though, who knows what might happen to him.

Sorry shouldn't have suggested the RSPCA as they probably wouldn't come anyway!! Have a very dim view of them myself :(

He's at home alright....won't want to go back
I still cant get hold of this babies mom and dad :( not that he seems bothered really hes more than made himself at home :lol:
Watch it Erin,:? he is getting his paws well under the table.:roll: ...He is a lovely little boy.:)
he gorgeous Moli :)
Im just about to feed my 2 now Im not sure if i should feed him too :? he could be on a special diet and i dont know,but he could also be here for a night if he owners dont get intouch so i would have to feed him at some point.
He looks like hes a golden oldey bless him.
Do you think I should feed him :?
Yeh feed him Erin, he'll love you for it. Hehe
Any new's on his owners. Just a thought they may be at work and he's eascaped.
no still cant get them jac,ill keep trying them.i think thats wats happened jac,i think hes escaped :(
he gorgeous Moli :)

Maybe give him a tiny bit and see if he seems hungry? Is there any notes on his colour saying 'do not feed' or anything? I think you should just offer water and if he's still here tonight maybe feed him....it's a hard decision to make though, but if you just give him a small amount he should be okay even if he is on a special diet? Hope you get in touch with his owners - he's obviously well fed and cared for and loves humans and other dogs ;)
When we were in our last house a wee dog turned up. Her name was amber. I phoned the owner, like you no answer. In the end about 6.30 I got a call from a bloke saying amber was his dog. It turned out his wife was Blind and didn't know amber had got out. After that we just used to take her back.
Ive just fed him,only gave him a bit to start off with but it didnt touch the sides so I gave him some more,hes a happy boy now sun bathing :lol:
Awww atleast he's a lovely dog whilst he's staying with you ;) If you don't manage to make contact with the owners in a few days maybe your vet would be willing to scan him for a microchip? Have you had a look around the area to see if there are any 'missing'/'lost' posters? I doubt it because it doesn't look like he's been gone long but you never know (then again, if I had a dog and he went missing posters would be up preeetty quickly ;))
there were no posters the estate at all,I walked round with him for a while before I came home with him just incase anybody was out looking for him.
I will take him to a vets if the owners dont contact us,we will make posters too and pop them up rund by where we fond him and around the estate.
Sounds like his owners work Erin and they have left a window open or a door as it's hot and he's got out. You'll probably get a call soon.
P.S. can we have some of your nice weather?
ok I have just been trying his home for 20 mins and it was engaged so i kept trying and when it did start ringing no answer again :?
Weird:smt017 :smt017 :smt017 :smt017
Weird:smt017 :smt017 :smt017 :smt017
I know at first I thought somebody may have been trying to call them the same time as me but for 20 mins :?
When you phoned to say you had the dog, did you give your address?
If you did they possibly could be on there way to you. I know pathetic but it's a suggestion:roll:
No I just said Marlpool and gave them my mobile number :?
hes so good with the cats bless him,my 2 are nightmares cause they want to play all the time but he is so gentle,Milo hated him to start with,he kept spitting and hissing at him lol

I must have posted when you posted I missed that. That's odd I would also assume someone was ringing them but as you say for 20 mins??
Im still getting no answer,this poor baby must be wandering whats going on :(
got through to the owner guys :D he was worried sick bless him,his phone is playing up so he hasnt been able to listen to his messages,hes on his way to pick him up now,I love happy ending :D
Aww that's brilliant!!!! How come he was wondering do you know?
it sounds as though he got out while the guy was at work,he said he just got back and started panicing when when he couldnt find him.The poor bloke you could here the panic in his voice
Awww sweet, so glad Auntie Erin looked after him.
Well done Erin, what a lovely happy ending, hope the owner tightens up his security a bit!
Good for you Erin, one happy owner and one happy pooch!
Well done Erin for picking him up and taking him homeand taking the time to phone his home up until you got an answer. He his certainley a looks like a little heart breaker.

You could offer to dog sit if he ever gets through the cat flap again. That must have been a sight. Him squeezing through.
