:( Apparently abandoned Chocolate Lab found in Cincinnati area.

theGOOCH · 03-27-2005, 03:24 PM

I found a Chocolate Lab wandering loose in my neighborhood with no tags and noone has called the dog warden to ask about him. I'm trying to find a good home for him. I'd consider keeping him, but I have a male Doberman and I'd be afraid to house them together.

Kudos to you for taking him in! I hope that either his owner shows up with a good reason for not at least inquiring with the dog warden or that your able to place him in a great forever home.

YAY Gooch!!! It's terrific that you took in the poor little guy the way you did! Good luck with him!

Well right now he's basically living in my garage, which is no good, but I guess its better than the street. Hopefully I find someone to take him soon.

What an awesome person you are! Big pat on the back for taking him in. I hope that you can find a place to be his forever home. You are right that at least he has a warm dry place to stay and food and fresh water to drink. Good luck with him and keep us posted!

Well, I talked to the ASPCA today and they convinced me to let them take him and try to find his owners, or a new family. They promised to keep me updated so I can get him back if nothing turns up. I figured they would be in contact with more potential adopters than I would.

I think someone will want him. He appears to me to be a purebred Lab (he's even the appropriate size, not a 100 lb. "Superlab!") and he's really sweet.
He has a little gray under his chin, but from what I understand Chocolate Labs can start to gray quite early. Otherwise he seems pretty lively, so I'm not sure how old he is.

Awww, I'm sure you'll miss the cutie but I'm also positive that the SPCA will find him a wonderful new forever home in time if his owners don't show up.
