    Good morning r/austin! I have a found dog situation that doesn't fit in the normal steps for a found dog and am
  • 03
    hoping for some advice. We live next to a church where there is a man who has been sleeping in his truck in the parking lot for a few
  • 04
    years. Over the past couple weeks, a woman driving a white Land Rover suv has been sleeping in her car there too. While

    walking our two rescue pups this morning, we saw this cutie in the parking lot with his leash still attached. He has no tags of

    any kind. The man in the truck said that he belongs to the woman in the white suv and that she dumped him when
  • 08
    she drove off last night. We have him inside and offered him food and water. I'm going to take him to
  • 09
    the vet for a chip scan, although since we confirmed the circumstances of where he came from I'm not sure if that is going to lead
  • 10
    anywhere. For those same reasons, I'm not sure posting on lost and found pet pages will do much good either. I'm thinking we will keep
  • 11
    him safe for a day or two to see if the woman comes back, and then try to get him into intake at Austin animal shelter. He is a very
  • 12
    sweet dog and I would hate to take him to a shelter but I hope he would get adopted quickly. Any thoughts or
  • 13
    welcome to this plan! I'm new to this situation so want to make sure we handle it correctly.
