Ok. After a long conversation with boyfriend, I realize I can't keep him. I am getting ready to move and my next few weeks are going to be chaos!
What I can offer for Ranger is that I can be the one to pick him up, and I could conceivably keep him for a few days. If it turned out that he was very mellow and housebroken and healthy, I could take care of him for longer. Otherwise it would be really difficult in my current apartment! I don't have a crate big enough for a Pyr! So if we could quickly find a home or a rescue group willing to take him, that would work best for my current situation. If this happened 2 weeks from now it would be smooth sailing!
In the morning I am going to call the shelter. Most likely they will want to send him directly to a vet to be neutered so I wouldn't be able to pull him right out anyway. They might be able to get his shot records if he was an owner surrender, and if they have more information it would really help me with the planning. If I get him out under the name of ... (who I do some work with) his adoption fee might be discounted. Hopefully!
There is a Pyr Rescue in Tennessee who takes in mixed breed pyrs, I'll give them a call in the morning and see if they are willing to help out.
Anyone else have any ideas? Like I said, I am still more than happy to be the one who gets him out of there and keep him a few days. But just getting him out could be more complicated than just handing them a check and walking out with the dog!
I know it's getting late, but I will check back and see if someone wise can help solve this dilemma!
