On Monday evening, April 14, 2008, my husband, Charlie, and I were making a quick stop at the Kroger in Sabraton for a few extra groceries; this store is just outside of Morgantown, WV (home of WVU (West Virginia University)). But, as I left the store, there was a rather large German Shepherd entering the store. About a half hour later, it was determined that this dog was homeless/lost/runaway, whatever you want to label it; he was found without a collar. The Kroger employees had no option but to call 911 to request a dog warden, but about 20 minutes later, they were told that no warden was available, and the dog should simply be shoo'd away. By that time, I had gone back into Kroger's, bought a collar and leash and some dog treats for the confused dog. Several people and a few employees expressed concern and sympathy for the dog, but no one was willing to take the dog home. So, Charlie and I agreed to bring BB (Big Boy) home with us. We are considering ourselves to be "temporary foster parents" for BB. He is a very easy-going, gentle, good-natured dog. He walks really well on a leash, and does not "drag" you around. With his easy-going, good nature, he might be a good dog for an older person. He seems like an older, mature dog, but we're taking him to the vet tomorrow, and we'll know more after that visit. We're not sure that for long-term he's compatible with our loveable little dog, Boof, and so we're looking to place him in a good home if we can't find his original owners. If you are interested in BB, or know someone who is, please let us know! We have made an attempt to find his original owners by placing an advertisement in the Dominion Post and in a radio notice with the local radio station, but we have not received any calls so far. We also left our phone number and address with the Kroger store manager, but have not had a response from them. This morning I called local vets and the Morgantown dog adoption center (a.k.a. the dog pound) to report a found dog, but so far, no nibbles. At the suggestion of a friend, we have also used several websites on the internet to post BB as a found dog. The websites we posted to are: DogDetective.com, LostandPound.com, LostandFound.com, Lostfoundpets.us, and PetFinder.com. Charlie took BB to the vet on 4/17/08, and found out that he is about 8 years old, and is in basically good health. He has a little of the hip displaysia that goes with big dogs, but the vet said it was within normal range for a dog his age. The vet also gave him some medication to settle his stomach; he's been eating a lot of grass; and a rabies shot just to be on the safe side! Charlie then went to the local dog shelter and spoke with the dog warden. He had taken BB with him in the truck, and had left the windows down. When he came back to the truck, BB had jumped out of the truck, but had stayed nearby. The dog warden saw this, and surmised that possibly BB had jumped out of a vehicle that had been in the parking lot of the grocery store, or gassing up somewhere nearby. Contact Sandy via e-mail at SANDYWALBRIDGE@cs.com if this is your dog or you are interested in adopting him.

Tracy, one of our Katrina dogs has been lost. She managed to slip away from her new foster in Old Town Alexandria. Tracy is a black-and-tan Shepherd/Shiba Inu mix weighing about 30 pounds. She is probably dragging her leash. She is likely to be very frightened, so please approach her with caution. It would be better to grab her leash instead of her collar. She might still be in the area, and might be trying to make her way back to her last residence in DC. If you get any info about her, please contact Carol at 703-548-1461 or 703-969-6820 (cell) ASAP.
