Drifter is laying next to me on the couch as I type. He is such a good dog. We have found out who is owners are....and yeah....they are not good people. Our buddy Ken said that Drifter's dad is a Pittie and his mom is a Black Lab. Drifter is just about year, I am told. The owner still has both, intact. Ken does not want to give Drifter back to him. Ken said the owners are not even looking for him. He found out who the owner is through another friend of his. We are going to see what we can do to legally keep Drifter in our rescue. I guess if they are not looking for him, they really do not want him anyway. He is NOT neutered and has not had any shots either from what I am told. He has an appointment tomorrow at my vet to get his vaccines and to scan him to see if he possibly could be chipped, but I doubt it. Drifter pants a real lot and take lots of deep breaths. I am thinking he may have a cold, so he will get checked out for that too. I am also having a heartworm test on him and scheduling his neuter. Whether his owners want him back or not, he is being neutered. Ken said to do what I have to do.
Drifter will be going to a foster home tomorrow after his vet appointment. The fosters are a very nice couple with two Labs of their own. A yellow Lab and a Red Fox Lab? Never heard of that breed before, but they are both great dogs and wonderful people. Drifter will stay with them until we figure out our next move with him. I just hope we are able to keep him in our rescue and find him a good home. He is such a good boy. He absolutely loves my kids, cats, and Scruff!! But who doesn't love Scruff!?! I will keep you all posted on him. Fingers and paws crossed that we can keep Drifter safe in our care.
