Two dogs found in Melrose



Both dogs found Wednesday, November 11.
-Pitbull puppy, 7-8 months old, intact male, white with brindle spots, found on Fellsway. "Oakley" has gone to Pittie Love Rescue
-Dashchund/chihuahua/minpin mix, young adult, brown, about 10-12 pounds, intact male, found on Windsor St.
It is especially important that I contact the owner of the small dog to find out his rabies vaccine status- owner does not have to take the dog back, no other questions asked.

Have you found the owner of the daschund mix? I would like to adopt a dog in need, preferably a small to medium sized dog. Do you send these dogs to specific shelters if they are not claimed?

Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Andrea, generally if a dog is not claimed, I try to find a placement for them at a shelter or rescue, so that they can be adopted.
The pitbull puppy is at Pittie Love Rescue under the name "Oakley" and is available for adoption.
The doxie mix unfortunately came in with some bite wounds. Since we never found the owner to verify his vaccine status, he has to be quarantined for 6 months. He won't be available for adoption till at least May.
I would reccommend the Animal Rescue League, the MSPCA, Northeast Animal Shelter or Buddy Dog Humane Society to look for a small breed dog. -Diane
