First topic message reminder :

So, an update on the male staffy we found last week.
We called the pound 4 times, but no one had reported him missing (clearly they don't really care!). We put an add in the paper, but the owner did not call... a few other people did which is concerning though. Either there are a lot of staffies going missing in our area, or the people that called where involved in fighting and just trying to score a free staffy.
Anyway, today, after a week of having him, I finally had a chance to take him to the vets to get a check up. When we found him, he was covered in ticks, very thin and also has a lump on his leg that needs to be looked at. He has put on some weight, as he has been living on chicken wings and meat since last Thursday lol. But we don't know if he is on heartworm meds, guessing not tho considering the amount of ticks that were on him.
Well, as I expected they would, they checked if he was micro chipped and to my shock, he was! I know he has a home and he should be returned to his owners, but I am very upset right now as we had all grown fond of him, especially Kuta.
I am also very concerned as to the quality of home he is returning to. After the condition we found him in, I'm not sure if he will be looked after that well. And seeing as he is an old dog, I would have loved to give him a great home to spend his last years.
I was very upset at the vets today, I wanted them to pass my details on to the owner so they could contact me to collect him, but they would not let me take him home. Kuta and my OH did not get a chance to say goodbye to him. Actually, when I returned home, Kuta was running around looking for him. They got along so well so it will be hard on him I think.
I am hopeing and praying that the owners no londer want him and we get a call tomorrow to come pick him up. It would be the best birthday pressie ever (I am turning 30 tomorrow eeshk!) I also hope that the vet gives him a good going over before they hand him over. If there is a bill for him, the owner may not want to pay it and just leave him. I will be more than happy to pay for him, which is why I took him in in the first place.
I may be totally wrong, he may have a loving home which would be great and I would love to keep in touch with them. But why would they have not been looking for him after a whole week. One would think they would have called the pound at least to report him missing, I know I would if it were my dog.
Anyway, thought I would let you all know what is going on. Fingers all crossed we get get a call saying he is ours praying

So you're into the "home straight" now, as they say. Almost there. This is going to be the LONGEST few days ever!! But hang in there, it'll all be behind you soon. Concentrate on making sure you have his own special bed and toys and treats and things in the meantime. Big Grin

And post pics as soon as you can, we want to see PICS!!

I am really pleased for you and he'll be going to a fantastic home and have a new brother to rough house with. I hate being the bringer of bad news but just bare in mind he has been in the shelter and may act differently when it comes to your boy, alot of noise alot of bad energy coming from dogs in there with anxiety issues and other issues that have yet to be addressed. I'm sure all will be fine i just wanted to let you know it may not a the great reunion as it was before. I don't think there will be anything really bad but he may be just a little more on the timid side if that makes sense.
