Question about a newspaper article

I believe he can be rehomed, but possibly the animal shelter won't. I've seen born feral cats and dogs be able to live in a household, but not with out a lot of time, and certainly not with the help of a shelter. They don't have the time to put into one dog, unless someone immediately comes forward to take him. If he is aggressive in any way, or even bites out of fear, he will most likely be put down. Unless he just ended up at the island and is afraid of strange people, his future is a little grim.

My guess is that with all this publicity there is a better chance that someone will foster & train him or even adopt him. And I bet it will happen soon after they catch him. Unless of course he ends up being extremely vicious.
I bet if it weren't for the publicity I doubt they'd even try to do anything with the dog.
