oh beleave me i now have his other owners number i'm calling them tomorrow

[Stefan-A]

yeah hes been vetted and dewormed...my friend who works there at the pound told me she looked up his file and just learned that he was a owner surrender.. and that he's 100% AKC Canine Good Citizen Awarded and also a trained attack dog.. we now have those papers.. Well that explaines the sit and lay down and go to bed and other stuff on command lol.. I wonder what else he is without me knowing?

Holy crap. That's one hell of a dog you've brought home.

"Attack dog" as in Shutzhund trained? I find that very hard to imagine-- that they would then turn him into the pound, and that the pound would in turn adopt him out-- talk about a law suit waiting to happen. You'd better get to the bottom of that.

Yeah and beleave me i have.. hes trained in German this is what his old owner said.. All she said was pasolf (i think thats how you spell it) means watch, packen means bite, and stop him from biting say aus... he's 100% CGC canine good citizen awarded that he has no papers since hes a mutt (her exact words).. he is Dane mix tho.. And that he's micro chipped with Home Again and thats all she told me and hung up on me.. She wasn't a very nice person.. I'm like the nerve of people.

I have also now found a lady today (thu the AKC.org website) with the CGC that thinks she remember Chingy we're going to take him back for a refresher course of CGC.. so he'll be in my name this time..

Any who he's got a great home here now.. And i have now gotten wet dog food and put half of it in his dry dog food and hes chowing down.. I'm also getting chicken noodle soup and putting half of it at night for something extra to fill him up at night.. My kids love him and so does me and my husband and he loves us.. That's all that matters now.. He sat for 4 hours last night on the couch beside me with his head in my lap.. He's thinkfull he has someone now that loves him..

Well, I'm certainly glad he ended up somewhere so good!! Wonder why on earth she turned him into the pound??!! You should also call Avid and have his microchip re-registered in your name, so that if he ever gets lost he'll be returned to you. They will have to contact her for permission but then they can put him in your name.

He sure is a sweetie, and sounds like he needs all that love!! Doesn't sound like he got it before!!

i found this just now and it made me bawl like a baby... made me think of him so i put it on my website..

I Adopted Your Pet Today...

I adopted your pet today...
The one you left at the pound;
The one you had for five years
And no longer wanted around.

I adopted your pet today...
Did you know that he's lost weight?
Did you know he's scared and depressed
And seems to have lost all faith?

I adopted your pet today...
He had fleas and a little cold;
Guess you don't care what shape he's in
You abandoned him I am told.

I adopted your pet today...
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies,
Or was there NO reason he couldn't stay?

I adopted your pet today...
He doesn't play or even eat much;
I guess he's very sad inside and
It'll take time for him to trust.

I adopted your pet today...
And here he is going to stay;
He's found his FOREVER home
And a warm bed in which to lay.

I adopted your pet today...
And shall give him all that he will need
Patience, love, and security,
So he can forget your selfish deed.

Nice poem, Natalie.
Unfortunately, the kinds of people who abandon/abuse their pets don't seem to be the kinds who understand or even feel bad when confronted with it.
I'm so glad he's found a nice loving home now with you.
