I rescued another dog today.

15. Thank you and glad to hear!

I just didn't want to assume. Some people in my area seem to think they can just rehome a dog they picked up off the street.

I've done about a half-dozen TNRs of the ferals around my block (plus taken in many over the years). And sadly, I know about the dog dumping all too well. Many years back we rescued two Scottish Terriers that had been set loose on a nearby mountain road. Like you, all the houses were full up taking care of previous dumped dogs.

Aside from the three street cats we've taken in, we've got two rescued coon hounds. Older unneutered females, abandoned after they'd been bred out. It's taken a long time to teach them how to be house pets and bond with people.
