This morning, someone was "kind enough" to dump this young boy at the end of our driveway. We were able to catch him, get a collar on him, and set him up on our back porch with some breakfast. He's fairly thin, though not starving.
He's still young (just now getting his canine teeth, so he's about 5 months old), quite cheerful (though he was a bit nervous after his morning's experience), has GIANT webbed feet, and enjoys a good belly rub!
Feel free to help us find him a home...
UPDATE: We've decided to keep him on the farm.... *happy face!*
Love your dad's suggestion for catching the deadbeat dumpers. So sad for the poor animals. They would slowly starve and die without someone to take them in. :(

Okay.... time to get the trail-cam out...I want to take a look at the kind of person who would do such a thing. Post their pic on your blog!!!! You and Alan are good to the bone!

Seriously!!!!???

If I lived closer I would adopt him! I lost my dog Tanner in March to Cancer.... I've been thinking I'm ready for a new pet soon...

Are you serious?! You and Alan are so kind to take in these pups and find a home for them. Dog dumpers are mean!

I think you should put up a sign at your driveway- Please bring your pet you are about to throw away to the house so I can find it a nice new home-
you could even put some dog houses in waiting up-lol
I am so glad these animals find you!!! he is a nice boy!
by the way thanks for sending your heat to Connecticut! Next time please send stamps or veggies instead :)

Thanks for taking care of him! I shudder to think if he had been dumped somewhere else. I'll never understand how someone can do that to an animal. Good luck finding a good home for him!

I SO wish I could come get this guy. I have two other labs and they would love to meet him and play. This breaks my heart and I hope you find a home soon!!
Posted by: Judy Rozema | June 22, 2012 at 05:23 AM
Oh he's adorable. I can't believe people keep doing this, it is just awful! I hope that he finds a good home like the last little guy. Although I am partial to labs, and would love to see him stay with you ;)!
Posted by: Kelly Schirmer | June 22, 2012 at 05:03 AM
oh woof! He looks just like our Miss Mika and our old Mr. Bear. Black labs melt my heart. I think Mr. Farley did some guiding so he could have a good breakfast. Wish I didnt live so far away.

Your Dad took my comment right out of my keyboard. I wonder, too, if you could become a non-profit agency. Anna and Alan's Pet Relocation Service.

He is beautiful, I think Mr. Farley sent him to you! People who dump innocent little animals are idiots!!!

Oops...I didn't mean poor people, I meant poor animals. Well anyway, just pisses me off.

I hate seeing all these poor people throwing their animals away like trash. Really makes me sad (among other things). When I think that I chased a fox (who may have been after one of my kitties) and then proceeded to really chase the fox (when I saw it going into my neighbors yard who has a stray mama cat who had a litter of kittens) to protect the animals that I love.....
Best of luck finding a home for this beauty!

People are so terrible to throw wonderful animals away like trash. He is so adorable. Are you sure you don't need another lovely boy around??!!!

I hope these heartless people read your blog. I'd just like to tell them, what goes around comes around and karma is a b!tch.
You and Alan are so kind. Good luck finding this little cutie a home.
Posted by: Kathy | June 21, 2012 at 01:49 PM
AW! looks cute but 1 is enough no more room ...you guys are great people !
Posted by: Gina Florencia | June 21, 2012 at 01:35 PM
Holy Cow, what is WRONG with people??? This also happens out in the country in TN where I grew up...folks come from town and dump their "unwanteds" out in the country. Poor animals...it's so heartless to be treated that way, and you are an ANGEL to care for them. I hope you will have no trouble finding a good home for him. Too bad you can't easily catch the culprits. :( BLESS YOU ALWAYS !

Seriously!?!?! Again?!?!?! So soon?!?!?!? Well thank goodness these critters have a guardian angel guiding them to you. I'd say to get news crews to come by and tell your repeated critter drop off story, but you'd probably end up with even more "visitors". Haven't any of these folks heard of the ASPCA? Maybe you should have the Animal Cops: Houston folks set up a temporary outpost at your place. :) Fingers crossed getting your new friend a forever family.
Posted by: Moriah | June 21, 2012 at 11:24 AM
I'm sorry people think pets are disposable, and agree you should keep a camera out there with a sign. he looks like a nice pup and I hope he finds a good home.
Posted by: Sally | June 21, 2012 at 10:52 AM
This breaks my heart to see this little guy dumped.....we have a black lab. Thank you for taking him in and making him feel loved. I'm sure there is someone that wants him.
Posted by: Ann weyer | June 21, 2012 at 10:35 AM
Oh My Anna. I seems words is out! You an Alan are so good at looking for forever homes for the abandoned deasr. Good Luck. Hopefully you get him settled as quickly as you did Lulu. :) Big Hugs....
Posted by: Carol Dee | June 21, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Boy, people have your number don't they? He's a cutie! Whatever happened to the little butterscotch girl who ended up at your house?
Posted by: Jeanne in Idaho | June 21, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Awwww...this is so sad! Why do you have to live so far away? I would take him in a heartbeat! We had to find a home for our pure-bred black lab, Cassie, since we couldn't take her to Costa Rica with us! She's now passed away (old age). He sure is cute! I agree with your Dad. Maybe it's time to get a little ugly in the community! Maybe not! Grateful you & Alan have a "heart" for animals!! ;)
Posted by: Sherri D. | June 21, 2012 at 10:09 AM
Oh Anna...it's so sad to see people dumping their animals, but they know you will take good care of them. It's a tough place to be...you are a kind soul.
Posted by: Danielle | June 21, 2012 at 09:26 AM
You need a sign at the end of the driveway that says "dont drop off pets here, we will shoot the owners, we have camera monitors" The use of your game cameras is probably a good idea. just dont tell'em how you found out who the dead beat was.....What a bummer.
Posted by: Dan Wight | June 21, 2012 at 09:10 AM
What is it with people!!!!???
I think that someone (Mr. Farley) is trying to tell yal something? Well maybe not, but at least this little feller was fortunate enough to land at the end of your driveway. Good luck with finding this little guy a good forever home.
