Dog situation

[montesa]

There’s a stray dog half a mile from my house. Gets fed by the lady at the donut shop and tons of people that drive through. The dog won’t get near anyone. I’m wanting to take the dog in.

Would it be crazy to post a sign that says “Please dont’t feed the stray dog. I will every morning at 7:30 to give the dog a home.”

The dog is surviving fine alone and just hangs out in the area. It does get in the road and will eventually get hit or have puppies. The last thing anyone needs is a litter of homeless pitbull mix puppies.
I think it’s a female but not sure.

I don't have the answer for you. But as a dog lover myself I hope your efforts to help this pup are successful. I don't think a sign would be crazy...if you can get people to follow the request not to feed the dog.

I found strays that you rehome miss the wide open space and like to escape and be strays.

Maybe so. Mainly I just don’t want to see a whole litter of pups out there. They will end up put down most likely. Kinda of annoys me that the donut lady feeds the dog all the time for months but doesn’t want to give it a home. Pretty sure the dog likes donuts and scraps more than dog food.

Pretty sure I would too...

Luck to you and the pooch.

That's been my experience, too ... Well except for this worthless piece of dogmeat laying in my lap ... SNORING ... Living the high life. This little **** knows where the good life is ... And it ain't at the lake ...

I treat my dogs better than most people treat their kids. They get the best of everything... Food, housing, health care...you name it. They even have their own ruthless security detail. They live like royalty here. Pretty sure they know it.

I've got a feral dog problem that I'm still working to eliminate.

It might not hurt to try to trap the dog if it won't let anyone near. We all want to be the dog whisperer, but the chances of earning its trust and getting everyone to comply with your feeding wishes before the dog becomes roadkill are slim.

As a dog lover and husband to a Veterinarian I'm pained to say that sometimes dogs don't do well with a lot of human interaction. Be careful.

We have a cat that shows up every morning and afternoon to be fed. You can't touch him. We wished he would join the herd we have.
