bookwoman Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Our neighbours called us several days ago to tell us that a malamute dog (looks like like a German Shepherd) had followed them home along the malecone and was hanging around our street Linda Vista. They took it back in their car to where they had originally encountered it but it came back, hungry and wet. It is in our garage for the meantime. We have six cats including two kittens who were recently thrown over our wall. A dog, as lovely as he is, cannot live here. He is is very friendly and obviously a family dog. He has a collar and a rabies tag. That is all. Not sure what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Since he has a rabies tag, perhaps if you took him around to the vet's offices maybe one of them would recognize him and help get him back to his owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea. Would start with Ladron's. I know they give out tags. Not all vets do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Also please read the pinned post at the top of this section about lost and found pets. And Malamutes don't look much like German Shepherds. They look more like big very furry Huskies. Are you sure it is a Malamute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 It came to me in the middle of the night - I'll bet you meant Malinois, a Belgian herding dog that does look a lot like a German Shepherd. That may help in finding his owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 The malinois has been down at the malecon daily for quite a while. He plays with our standard. he is fat and clean. He'll go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdawgs Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Not all rabies shots are given by the vets.The health dept goes around and does rabies shots, for free, each year, The rabies tags from them this year are pink bones. The dog has a home, do not lock him up in your garage, leave him out on the street so he can go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwoman Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 He did go home, Harry. We kept him overnight in our garage (we have six cats). He ate and dried off. And in the morning, away he went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
