A few weeks ago I responded to a NextDoor post about a found dog.
The person whose house he showed up at could not keep him long enough to try to find his owner, if he had one. He was taking him to the county animal shelter at the end of the day if no one claimed him.
I messaged the finder and told him that I would foster the pup to keep him out of the shelter. Nobody responded to the post on the NextDoor site nor the found dog report on the county shelter's site.
He was checked for a microchip but none found. The vet tech checked nim and said that he was neutered and asked to estimate his age he said "Ancient, At least ten or more". His nails were very long, neglected and curling under so they were addressed.
So now he is officially a member of my pack.
He joins D#1's rescue cattle dog from the Rez. and D#2's three Chihuahua mix brothers who were also rescues.
I call him Buddy but D#2 insists that to her he seems like he should be Pablo.
We are still acclimating; the cattle dog tends to want to herd him around and the Chi-Chis being only three years old want to play a little too hard for him. As a result he lives in my bedroom and has to have supervised visits with the rest of the pack.
Being old and short he has to use a ramp with a pillow at the top to get up on the bed but he has finally perfected a technique for getting up. Being an older fellow he also needs to get up in the middle of the night to go pee so the timing works out for both of us.
Hopefully we both have some good years ahead of us.
PP
Just need to hear from boing and EA01 please on chosen payment methods.
WARNING
Is anyone in touch with 'boing'? I am getting a little concerned for him as he has gone big-time 'NORDO'?
OCCASIONAL payments via Paypal are coming in significantly SHORT due to PP charges - AUS and NZ in particular. I may need in future to surcharge the money due for PP payments to avoid being out of pocket! Do watch PP fees!

Re: Meet Buddy / Pablo
Yay for rescue animals.....if we could only convince the majority that rescue animals are the best.....
I am with D2, he should be Pablo...
Life may not be the party you hoped for, but while you're here, you may as well dance. Re: Meet Buddy / Pablo
PHX, good to see you caring enough to provide a home for Buddy/Pablo.
Re: Meet Buddy / Pablo
Another one for Pablo 
He has obviously won the doggie lottery and will enjoy his golden years with your family. Well done you.
