We have called the Humane Soceity and they won't do anything since there is a bowl out there even though it is upside down and empty. As far as shelter it doesn't have any, but aparently thats not enough reason to take the dog.

By no means were we planning on stealing it. My Mom runs a rescue and she was going to simply talk to her and see if she is wanting to keep the pup. My Mom figured if we had a home lined up, she would say "I have this wonderful family that was looking for a pup just like this one" And kind of go that route.

We don't know what else to do. Anything else I think that they would lash out and take offence to. And as far as a play date, I am not so sure, because of my female not getting along well with strange dogs.

At this point we are just trying to figure out how to help the pup (legally).
