Thanks for the replies.

So far only one lady has showed interest in adopting him. She said she should call me back and arrange a time to come see him but she never called back! It takes about a hour for her to drive here but apparently that seemed to be quite a challenge for her. I don't think only one hour of driving is a big deal if you're serious about getting a new dog.. If I am to give him to someone I want them to show more enthusiasm and commitment.. also it helps to have the common courtesy to call me back like you promised .. So yeah.. This lady is already off the list.

My dad has been showing interest in keeping him but I don't think that's a good idea. My dad doesn't know a lot about training dogs.. and this guy will need some training since he doesn't really know how to act in a house.
My dad will also only be able to offer him regular walks on a leash and I think this guy will need more than that to stay happy.

But still, it's good news that my dad already likes him because he is my most trustworthy "babysitter"

Oh and yes the name Taggart is from the Scottish detective series.
