Making a poster now to put up at the mailboxes.

A Poster?

All he needs is a lil help fillin out his Change of Address form!

Oh, and maybe a NAME.

Did his New Collar come complete with a Wandering Spirits "license plate" bone?

Hope he fits right in ... a shame he won't be able to *blend* in - those NON-Husky ears
are going to be kinda hard to hide.

He looks pretty *well kept* - short nails, coat looks clean and brushed ...
hard to believe he doesn't have a real "home".
But just in case ... is there a spare "room" available for a long-term occupant?

I have lost count, so are we 28 now?

Wow, what a handsome guy. I agree with Phred, although it is hard to tell from pictures, he really does look well cared for. Hope you can find his "home" and convince them that he needs to be better supervised. In the meantime, enjoy the hospitality at Wander Spirit hotel, handsome.

He must be a smart boy, too, cause it he's been checking things out a couple times while deciding if he wants to come stay for a while, lol! He's a cute little guy, and he does seem well cared for. Hope someone sees the poster and recognizes him & lets you know what his situation is.

He is so handsome! I hope you can find his owners and hopefully they will keep him in THEIR yard from now on!

Looks like a GSD/husky cross to me. Has traits of both breeds.

I bet there are tonnes of huskies and their crosses round where you live anyway, lol.

Sitka has been reclaimed by his owner, who live a couple kilometres directly behind me. They seem very nice. I left a fancy leather collar on Sitka so hopefully they won't use the choke chain as his regular collar anymore. He was absolutely estatic to see his people again--jumped all over them and then got comfy on his cushy bed beside the woodstove!

He was a nice boy and Tehya enjoyed chewing on him this morning, but I must say I'm glad he had a decent place to go back to. He howled, barked, whined and carried on all night long. There was not much sleeping done around here and I'm sure my neighbors were less than impressed!

Almost sorry to hear that - he'd have made a nice Chew Toy for Tehya.

Was he "found" thanks to your Poster efforts, or some other method?
(Maybe they *heard him* last night?)

Did you tell 'em WHY you ditched his choke collar?
And maybe suggest an engraved License Plate for his jewelry?

Hard to understand people letting a NICE dog go around with NO ID!

Whatever - THANKS to YOU for your efforts to house and return him!
Another GOOD JOB, Tamara!!

Tehya had some fun chewing on him before he left. There was much mutual chewing actually. I don't think Tehya quite knew what to do with a dog who chews back!

I'm assuming they called animal control to report him missing. The guy knew my name when he called. That was the only place that I gave my name to and I gave the officer permission to give out my contact information rather than have him act as a go-between.

I'd say 95% of the dogs around here have no ID on their collars. Of all the strays who have spent a few days here only one had a phone number on him and his owner wasn't there to answer the phone! We tracked down one owner through a rabies tag and one other one through a city lisence--that was for another dog! The dog I had was a young sled dog, the tag was for an ancient GSD!

What a wonderful happy ending.

I adore that name!

Great news for Sitka! Plus, as he has been stopping over now and then, you now know where to deliver him; AFTER he and Tehya have their chew time, of course!

Sitka is a very handsome fellow, Glacier! Bless you for getting him back together with his family. I hope they'll visit the Doggers again (planned, maybe!) so we can see more of him.
