@zekkerjah dog was on death row at a rural shelter that gases, had been there the longest and would be first put down. I contacted animal control and she was so grateful I could take her, and one of the volunteers was coming near me tonight for a funeral serendipitously so obviously euthanasia was postponed pending transport to an adoptor instead. This dog is unspayed/unvetted and has been there for over a month, possibly multiple months. The neglectful idiot owner shows up THE MORNING of adoption (would have already been euthanized) to claim the dog. This is out in the boonies. The dog has been gone for a long time. There is only one animal control. She obviously was not even looking for this dog, and not responsible (i.e. dog has not had shots or been spayed, missing for months and would have been dead and gone by the time she lifted a finger to find it)
still really, really cute!
