Every day I walk our Doberman down the street to an empty lot we purchased. It is fenced in by a 10 foot high concrete block wall all around. However, in the wall facing the street are two small slots about six inches wide and two feet tall that would resemble "windows" but there is no glass installed.
Last night as I approached the lot to unlock the steel door and go inside with Camelia (the Doberman), I heard the very high-pitch wining of a dog "locked" inside the lot. Come to find out, someone must have tossed the puppy dog through one of the openings and left it alone inside. The little pup would not leave me alone, followed me around everywhere inside.
I went home and brought back some kibble and water. Boy, that little girl sure was hunger. I returned the next morning with a little more kibble, but not enough, it was all swallowed in about a minute. I went online to a local facebook group to ask about dog adoption and city pound options (I'm not in the market for another pet). I decided to take it to the pound (even though one comment said dog's only have a lifespan of ten days there).
I brought the dog home and gave it another meal before taking her for a ride over to the pound. Just about then, our handyman Miguel showed up. I asked him if he knew anyone interested in adopting a puppy (looks 2-3 months old to me). He said yes he did. I got my hopes up that maybe the dog could actually find a real home. I asked Miguel who he had in mind. Much to my surprise he answered "Yo".
So the puppy (still un-named) is now under the care of Miguel. He took her right home for a bath (she has fleas, of course). Then he took her to the Vet to find the lump on her hip was most probably acquired in a dog fight of some kind. I went to Sam's Club and purchased a 4 kilo bag of kibble to get Miguel stocked with a little food. He also said puppy will be vaccinated soon.
Funny how we live among two different types of people, those responsible and those not. I hope it works out for Miguel (who presently only has a cat). That's a load off my mind.
