Forest is Chucho

A lot has happened to poor Forest since yesterday. after being chased down and drugged, he was carted off to "jail". He is reported to be in top health.
His microchip led ACC to his owner, who claimed to have given the dog away to an unknown co-worker (B.S.) But she wants him back.
Here's what goes with that.... a short trip to "nooterville" vaccinations, license tag, citations/fines, and she must post her property as "dangerous dog" territory. See, Forest/Chucho was involved in a dog aggression a few years back, where he and another dog took on a smaller dog. Even thought the injuries to said dog were not severe, the owner made a case against the two aggressors, and there ya go. He is labeled as "potentially dangerous".

It will cost his Mom about $400 to get him back,(she has already paid half of it) and ACC will be making home visits to her. So today I went and visited a not-too-happy, formerly free , doggie inmate.
Meet Forest, AKA Chucho
Look how clean and healthy he looks for a dog living in the streets for four months!



The homeless guys are sad, I'm certain Forest isn't too happy, and I am uneasy about the whole thing too. But what can ya do? I can't own them all (Laura!)haha

I hope she will care for him properly. I've got a feeling she may not. He's once smart dog though.

Have a terrific day. :)

I had the same reaction as Sandee about the owner not being very reliable. Sigh. I know you'll stay on top of this story and look out for Forest's best interests. Good job!
