No. I do not yet have a home for him.
What I do know is that, when I get the little guy, our first visit will be to the vet. If he has contagious critters, as I suspect he will, I will most likely try to board him while he gets treatment. My apartment is too small to separate the three dogs.
After that, I have no idea what to do. I also have no idea how to pay for his treatments. I have contacted rescue organizations, and they will rescue dogs from death row, but will not pick up strays. I don't want to risk putting the poor boy into our city shelter, but I don’t know if I’ll have the choice. There he could get medical attention and I could go pick him up, when he reached the end of his allotted time. What I want so desperately is for him to have a real home with people who love him, and possibly a pupper sibling. This dog deserves a home, but I know I can not give it to him. I am attached to him already and don't really want to see him go. I have even named him and everything. I figured that even if I couldn't give him everything he needs, I could at least give him something. As sad as I would be to see the boy leave, I would gladly hand him over to any wonderfully caring home.
He is always in my thoughts, and I think of him every time the weather reeks its havoc, every time I attempt to go to sleep knowing he is still out there, and every time I look at my own sweet pups and see the happiness and joy they bring to my life. I feel so helpless, but I know to this dog, I have all the power in the world. He is counting on me.
