I agree with k9krazee. Find out what type of breeds he can be. Try and get a picture and we can help you. Then you could call a breed specific rescue. They adopt out their breed and mutts of their breed. Rescues place these dogs in foster homes and they will get used to people. Please consider this.
Can't get a pic since my USB thing is still broken.Quote:

The one I want ot take him to is 2 hours away, but since I can't drive IDK.
As I said I'm STILL sorting things out, and I haven't made any real decisions yet.
UPDATE:
My grandpa has a fenced in pool area! (We dont use the swimming pool anymore and it has a cover over it. It would keep Scamp confined, and he would have shelter, and a place to run and get exercise.
And most shelters have a holding policy where a stray must be held for a certain number of days before being labelled as "adoptable".
I'm guessing the pool cover is one of those hard ones you can walk on and not just the plastic tarps?
Yes, it's one of those hard ones. And, our shelter does that, but as I already said, he IS agressive.Quote:

No, it was just a thought.Quote:

Your heart is the right place, but I honestly do not see the point in getting the dog medical attention, then just dropping him in the street again.
I agree with those who mentioned calling the shelter.
Who said we'd be dropping him on the street again after we got him medical attention? :confused:Quote:

It's the best thing for him, you can't hide him forever. I wish I live close by I would be of more help to you.
Told you the shelter isnt a bad place. Just because Roxy didnt get adopted doesnt mean he wont, doesnt mean he doesnt have a family...And he warmed up to you I'm sure he'll warm up to other people. He's probly scared not agressive. I agree 100% with what Cyber Sibes said

You could at that time choose to solicit additionally on your own, by forwarding their link page and posting on PT, Petfinder, etc..
If all else failed, you could try a last minute save effort "by rescuing him" yourself if his time ran out. Think about it!!!
You never mentiond somewhere where he could go. Your mother and Grandfather don't seem keen on helping you out, that is why I assume you are just planning on dumping him in the street again. Or did I miss something. :confused:Quote:

Anyways, do you have an update?
