Dog looking for a home

[dotx]

I'm trying to find a home for the dog pictured below.

The dog is some sort of setter, as you can see in the pictures. I found him a few weeks ago, after he’d been abandoned by somebody I knew. He had to be shaved to treat a skin problem, which is why you see him with short hair here. I’m also attaching pictures of him with long hair, so you can see what he’ll look like when the hair grows back.

He desperately, desperately needs a home. The person who owned him (who lived near my old house) simply decided a dog was too much work and she threw him on the streets, after regularly beating him for the most stupid reasons. It took me almost five months to get him back (first because I didn’t know she’d gotten rid of him and then because I couldn’t find him). He’s now taking some medication for a minor skin problem, but other than that, he’s completely healed and back to normal. He could use to gain some weight, though -- he was probably surviving on white rice that people threw at him.

He’s a boy, about 5 years old, and he’s been neutered. He’s the sweetest, most mellow, loving, funny dog. Gets along with everybody, loves kids, loves other animals… I’m furious that the previous owner just got rid of him. He’s now living in a cage at the vet because I can’t bring him to my house. I have three dogs already and two are special needs; otherwise, I would take him myself. He deserves a good home. I’ve paid for his medical treatment and I’m paying for him to stay at the vet until he can find a family. He really deserves a good life.

If you're interested, please send me a message.

I think there is a dog shelter over your way, may be give them a call, they might have some people interested.

Thought will give the thread a bump, its a good cause.

You mean the government shelter? It's a dreadful, dreadful place. They have three large fenced areas, each of them housing over 100 dogs. Fights, injuries... The street is probably a better place.

Thanks for the bump

Damn, he's beautiful. If he was small, I'd be over to Hua Hin like a shot. Hope he finds a loving home.

Oh, I know those places. Great organizations, but they're really overwhelmed with dogs. It seems unfair to try to push another dog on them, when they're working so hard to help soi dogs already.

dam_n, he's beautiful. If he was small, I'd be over to Hua Hin like a shot. Hope he finds a loving home.

Thanks. I think he's a beautiful dog too. And he also has a great personality -- which is amazing, considering what he's been through.

What i meant was, to contact them and if/may be they have someone interested, they can forward those people to you, as you know never.

He looks like a great dog and deserves a loving home, i only wish i could, but already have 3 rescue dogs and 11 rescue cats.

Thank you so much, please let me know if anything comes up!

How is the dog? Did he find a home? I'm in Phuket and have two dogs also, one critically ill at the moment, so I can't help but I just wanted to say good on you for stepping up and taking care of him....and of course give the thread a bump in case you're still looking for a home for the dog.

I am sorry, nothing came up yet. But I will keep trying.

BTW, did he find a home eventually?
