My buddy found a dog at Kasey's Gas Station in Gardner, IL on yesterday. He is a Lab possibly a Lab mix, maybe with some pittie, I think. But he really does look pure, just needs to grow into his big ol' head!!He is under a year and intact. He has no tags. He was somebody's pet, as he is house broken (minus the occasional marking), he LOVES dogs, kids, and even cats. He knows how to sit and stay as well. But, he absolutely DOES NOT like to be outside...hmmm....ya blame him?
Ken was on his way home from work in Indiana. He stopped in Gardner, IL at Kasey's gas station. As he was pumping gas, Drifter walked up to him. He was very scared and cold. He literally had icicles hanging from his ears. His fur also had ice all over it. Ken thinks he was trying to drink water in the pond by the gas station and slipped in. We don't know how long he was on the street for, but he was really, really cold. Ken brought him home and got him warm and gave him a good meal. Ken brought Drifter to us today. Ken already has 4 pit bulls and lives in a 2 bdrm condo.
He is a very good boy. I am taking to the vet in the next day or two to get him scanned. We are also putting flyers up of him around the area that Ken had found him.
Ken named him Drifter. I am hoping that we can find him a good home....I don't think we will find the owner. He had a collar, no tags. A nice looking dog like that should have tags. He is also under weight a bit. So who knows how long he really was on the street. All I know is now he is safe, thanks to Ken.
Here is Drifter.
