    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.

    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?

    I agree Roxy,

    If you call the shelter (the one you like) they may in fact, be willing to come out and get him. And as has already been stated, they will clean him up, get him all the medical attention he may need and "advertise" him for adoption. 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!!!

    Is your Grandpa planning on keeping him then?

    I still think the best thing would be to go to a shelter or rescue group, where he can get medical attention if he needs it and be evaluated for adoption, but thats just my opinion.

    No, it was just a thought.
    Megan (animal_rescue) has already contacted a Rescue group for me, and we're waiting for an answer.
