Hello all! I am new here and joined for one specific reason. Recently I came across the cutest most well behaved dog! Animal Control was called on it due to our landlord. I am calling the shelter everyday to be sure he is stilll okay and have been staying in touch with the humance society. The HS has advised me that they do not have authority to take stray animals only ones who's owners surrender them, they must give the city a chance to deal with them first. Completely broke my heart. I am new to this whole situation and I want to find a good place for it. Does anyone have any ideas? I am currently residing in TExas so if you have some advice or knowledge to share I'm all ears.
ps
The dog is a Boston Terrier mix!
