This came up on FB yesterday. Dog has lived most of his life outside. Owners in a divorce and no one living at the home. Dog has shelter and food but sub zero temps coming. What to do? Some want to steal him and take him to a no kill shelter. Nice thought but he's 10yrs old. No one will adopt him and you just traded one prison for another for him. The most humane thing and best for the dog right now today is keep him warm (lots of straw in his shelter and warm food) and fresh (not frozen) water. Try to contact the owners to see what they plan on doing with him and take it from there. Many folks think they will be safe at the SPCA. The larger percentage is put down. There are just not enough homesfor all. Most all the rescues are full. Always are. I personally tried to get strays I've found into rescues. Denied time and again. That's the reason I no longer help strays. I'm not getting stuck with them. Folks just have outdoor dogs for whatever reason. I would never. They are a part of my family. But folks do.
