Not sure what to do yet, stopped at my local gas station this morning and theres a beagle sized lab looking mix by the door trying to get in, was soaking wet, looked like he'd been there a while. Checked with the attendant and the dude said he'd been hanging out by the door for a few hours trying to get in whenever somebody came through.

I left the guy my card in case anybody came looking for him and ran the dog back to my house and gave him food/water and a blanket and took off to work. I'm leaving in a bit to pick him up and run him to the vet to see if he's chipped (doubtful) He has a collar but not neutered.

He seemed real well trained and well behaved, but not sure what I'm going to do if the vet says no chip. Guess I'll keep him a few days and see. I've got a lab I'll have to introduce him too and hope they don't go at it

I've checked craigslist and a few other places for people looking for a lost dog, any other suggestions?
 
take him back and drop him off where you found him. if he walked there, he can walk home.

typically lost dogs arent lost, they are exploring. they become lost someone picks them up and takes them away from where they were exploring.


best thing to do is, if he's hungry, give him a something to eat (except that might encourage further exploring) give him some water.

you should only take a dog in if he is injured or shows signs of mistreatment.
 
that would be a cool ass name!! i had a horse named dog, so a dog named STD would be pretty funny

scared to death!!!!!
 
Thats a good point about "exploring vs lost"

Took him to my vet, no chip. Fed him, he's good with my dog. I guess I could drop him back off at the gas station, but that road is busy as hell, I really don't think he'd make it for more than a few hours.

Checked CL and some websites, made a call on one that fit the description, we'll see

Long before I married her, my first wife decided she wanted a dog, so she and her dad went to a breeder and bought a pure-bred Cocker Spaniel. The breeder's last name was (no lie) Liquor, so he named all the pups after various alcohols. The one they picked out was named Cognac (odd name for an all black Cocker Spaniel, but whatever.) So they bring the dog home and her grandmother begins to take care of the dog while she is in school. Her grandmother is fresh off the boat from Russia and has a THICK Russian accent.

One day, the dog ran away and I get a phone call from one of her neighbors that there is some crazy fat woman running around the subdivision in a heavy Russian accent yelling, "Where is my Cognac, where is my Cognac?!?!?!" Had I not picked up the phone, they were 30 seconds from calling the police. True story.

I hope you either find the owner and he or she is actually worried to death about the dog, or you enjoy your new dog.
 
Not too sure if you are on FB, but there is a lost in NC page for animals. Something like that, wife is on it as we just had a coon hound show up at our place and we are looking for his owners. Not chipped either.
 
Cognac thing is funnier than hell...Naw I'm not on FB, but the wife his, and yeah she posted on that page along with a few other sites. Turns out he's a damn good dog, don't mind him hanging out with us for a while at all anyway
 
nothing helpful here, just to add to the funny dog story, My grandma had this big black dog years and years ago, he was pretty mean and would slip up behind people and bite them, no notice no barking, just ease up behind you and "biteyoass", and to make it even better my grandma being an old school deep southern native had named this big black sneaky SOB a truly politically incorrect name, "If you from around here you get it" OK so there is the background of the story, So one sunday we are all at grandma eating lunch after church, someone knocks on the door, grandma says yall eat I'll see who it is, so we hear here talking to a Jehovah's witness they were telling grandma about the bible and living right and she was kinda going uh-huh, uh-huh, ok, yes mam, i believe..................then suddenly..........%*&!(!(*@&^@ GET OFF THE PORCH!!!! (big black dog had snuck up on the porch behind these folks and grandma seen him as he jumped) well he dove off the side of the porch, so i don't guess the visitors even seen him they just turned and ran back to their car!!!!! probly thought that sweet lil lady had touretts or had just flipped out!!! haha she never had any more Jehovahs show up I guess word spread about her dog haha!!(or being a racist???)
