Try calling around to the local vets. Many of the vet computer programs can look up by name of pet or breed of dog. Hopefully if the owners were willing to put tags on him he may have seen a vet for vaccines (or microchip but you will have to take him in to the clinic for that one.). Best of luck in finding this little ones home. :)

Any more news? Poor baby! Are there pet stores nearby to check for missing animals?

So sad, hope he finds a home soon.  So sweet of you to help him out.

Sometimes it sucks to be a good samaritan!  Seems we always find the stray dogs too...my husband is a saint though.  I hope you find him a home...I know what you mean about the barking--my brother has 3 of the little sharks.  Can't get a word in when you call him because they are raising so much ruckus.   I hope no one dumped him off--that makes me so mad when people just dispose them like garbage...

Well, no one called the shelter looking for him and so far all of my messages have gone unanswered.   Strange.  Now I'm wondering if he was dumped. 

We gave him some ham and some of those Purina Carvers and he scarfed it all down.   I guess he is not used to kibble. 

 

When we take him to the shelter I'll tell them that if his owners dont' show and they have any trouble placing him that I'll take him back;   I can find him a home pretty quickly if I need to .  I feel bad not keeping him at the house but he's not crate-trained and I just can't lose another night's sleep and function at work.

Beth that is so nice of you to take the little guy in. i just really hope u can find his owners

Yes, I plan on calling the shelter when they open to see if anyones looking. I also left messages at several phone numbers. If not for the barking, we'd keep him at the house longer.

He's clearly well cared for. He ate some ham thus morning...

Be sure to at least call the local animal control or shelter and leave your info. Most people will call there looking for a lost dog. They also may be able to scan for a chip. Good luck, he sounds like every other Pem I have known!

Have you called vets/animal rescue places to see if he has been reported missing?

You've done a good thing by taking him in, lets hope you can find his owner.

If we can't make contact with the owners today, Chomper may need to go to the pound.  :(

 

He is apparently not used to being confined.  He barks and barks.  My two dogs are deeply unimpressed with him.  The cat is mortified.

 

Shawn gave up and let him loose last night and slept on the couch.  I think we each got about two hours sleep.  The little rascal jumped right up and slept next to him!  LOL   He's a cocky little thing.  As expected, he peed on Jack's food dish and some other doggy-related things lying around.  He's clearly used to being treated like the royalty he thinks he is.  :)

 

All kidding aside, he bonded to us instantly and was SO happy to see me this morning.  I was so proud of the Corgis.  They both had sort of horrified looks on their face but did not bother him.   He's back in his pen after the marking was discovered (and to avoid a fight), and all I hear is Bark Bark Bark!  Bark Bark Bark Bark!!!

 

*sigh*

 

He came out of the park.  Not sure if he just got loose or has been out there awhile.  He won't eat what we offer; he may be used to canned but we don't have that in the house.  I feel bad for him and he clearly misses his people, but he can't stay here.
