I ask the help of PT...

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.
I looked up rescues near me, and the nearest one is only an hour away, but I don't wanna take him there, since the county is bad. (Long story.)
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.

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.

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?

[lost_milo]

It would be best just to take him to the shelter, hun. He's a small dog and the small dogs with good temperments have excellent chances of being adopted.

I agree
You mention that he's aggressive but you also have to remember he's lost and scared. Right now it's hard for him to trust anyone and the good thing is he trust you because he knows you mean him no harm. The best thing you can do is try to find someone who can take him in just for a little while then find some rescues/shelters that are willing to take him. 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

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!!!

[jackie]

He's definitely not owned. Someone has dumped him and left him to fend for himself. My grandpa with a dog? YEAH, right. He doesn't have a fenced yard anyways, but maybe I could keep him somewhere . I just don't know. Thanks for trying to help, Alyssa.

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.

I said my friend had contacted a Rescue, and we were waiting on a reply. If that doesn't work, then he'll probably end up at the shelter, and HOPEFULLY get a loving home.

[jackie]

yes, you mentioned that about 5 minutes before I posted my original response, before that you didn't have many options.

Anyways, do you have an update?
