So. I was out at Smith for the week, and we found a sweet dog roaming around Skull's Hollow. He was in and out of our camp for the first few days, so we began to wonder if he had a home. Ravenously hungry, he ate while we called the number on his tag.
Turns out he was "given away" on craigslist 3 weeks ago. The old owner had no contact information of the "new owners" and when I asked if he could email them so we can return the dog, Buddy, to his home, he claims "the old lady handles the internet stuff" and didn't get back to us. We all think he was abandoned. In any case, we took him back to Bellingham WA with us and are in the process of finding him a good home.
We took him out to the rocks with us for 2 days and let me tell you, he is a kick ass crag dog. He hiked misery ridge with us like a champ and slept/contently chilled at all the walls. Very laid back and sweet dog. We think he's pit/border collie mix and about a year old. Very smart, and super friendly.
We're all poor college students and can't keep a dog, as much as we'd all love to. He needs a good home, so if anyone knows someone looking for an awesome pup, please let me know. I'll post a picture up tomorrow.
Thanks!

Don't listen to the resident troll. Good for you taking in the dog and trying to find it a good home. I love seeing dogs at the crags. Saw two very sweet ones yesterday.
Good luck.

This is so sad.
From your end, it must be very hard for you. Look at it in a positive light: you will get the chance to test out your dog ownership skills while you have fun with a new friend.
I was a "foster parent" for a dog for about a year. It was very memorable, but at the same time it was worth it because I was able to take the time to find Dozer the right owner for him.

I agree, unless you live in a place that absolutely does not allow dogs.
Keep him until you can find the right home... or for his life

What happened to the quality posts from subantz? Did he actually grow up and delete them, or was he finally censored?

any luck with contacting the Owner?
Have you tried the SPCA to get contact info for the owner?

Awwww, I want it!
I wish I could take him home, he's adorable. Unfortunately, I live with my mommy, daddy and baby in Canada otherwise, he'd be mine.
If you guys need any help taking care of him though PM me and I'll see if I can help out with some food, treats, etc.

Looks like a pit bull/border collie mix. Neurotic and over-protective?
