Need temp foster in Warren, OH area

[pitc9]

Clara, I sent a link to this thread to a PT member that lives in Warren.
I'm an hour North of Warren, if there is no one in Warren that can scoop him up I'll see if I can make the drive down there sometime this week after I get off of work.

WHO lives in Warren, OH?
I'm about 20 miles southwest of Warren ...

Only *rub* is we're Dawg Sittin with Cali this Friday, Sat, Sunday and I think Monday.

Not to mention how long it's been since I "Puppy-sat"!

Do we have any real details on this - like WHEN and Where is the Pup?
Did the Vet Check happen?

I hate the thought of a probably UN-vaccinated pup being anywhere near MY FurKids -
let alone sleeping in their home or riding in their Bus.

I think she has this part covered, Phred...

I was wondering if there were any residents in that area that might be able to hold this pup for a few days once he has been to the vet. That would give me a little wiggle room to arrange transport.

Gosh, he sure is a cutie... and look at those sad little eyes! Who could have just abandoned him?! I wish I lived closer to where you are to foster him for a few days for ya!

Update from Clara (via e-mail)

Right now I am still in a holding pattern. I did hear that they might have a local adopter there, so it might be a moot point. If they do, that's fine since my only concern was getting it placed somewhere before it went to the pound. I should know more today, because they have asked me to wait until they check out the local placement. They want to do a home visit and arrange vetting first. As soon as I have a definitive answer, I will let you know. The good news is that it is not going to the pound, one of the local volunteers has gotten it from the family that found it and is currently holding it - so less chance of it getting sick.

I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to see so many people offer to help. As of right now, I still don't have an answer as to whether they have found someone to take the pup or not, but regardless of whether we take him or not, at least the pup is somewhere other than the pound. Parvo is always such a factor in dog pounds/shelters that do not vaccinate at intake. I once had a pup I fostered from the city shelter here that died of parvo and given the gestation period, he had to have gotten it at the shelter since he had been there 3 weeks prior. It just about broke my heart.

There is a terrific vet in the area that will take in the dogs, get them all fixed up at a reduced cost and allow us to pay over the phone with either a credit card or send it via paypal - so our first priority is always the vet check.

Again, thank you so much - I really appreciate all the offers and I will keep you all informed.

for now. He is a cutie.
