Of course this happens on the morning that I am running the rescue myself. (I'm still here too)
I was cleaning the office when I guy knocked on the window. I let him in and he told me that he went to visit a friend a couple of streets down, only to find in the next apartment a dog that was skin and bones, sitting in his own feces.
After talking to his friend, he found out that the guy went to jail a while ago.
I gave the guy a pamphlet and a card and my home number and told him to report it to the police station first, then to come back to us, or have the police call me and I'll go pick the poor thing up and take him to the vet.
The police may end up contacting the HS though, which is fine as long as they don't euthanize him, like they probably will.
We can't just go take the dog, because it is still theft, so we needed to contact the police first.
Lets hope the little guy will be alright.
