Med Center. The HSPCA is pretty close, but did not know if some of the shelters do a better job of screening the dogs than others. My boys are 3 and 4. They drive our rescue cat (5 years old) crazy. The cat is a little OCD though.

Lol, my wife is with multiple rescue groups so I have animals pop up all day on my FB page. Just thought that would be easier to send you stuff. I can see what I can link on here.

No clue.
They found him by the rail road tracks in Alvin Texas. He has been at the animal shelter for about 6 weeks. He had no health issues and was well fed. My theory is someone just dumped him.
I have no idea where the name came from either.

Koda isnāt a DC character name.
Alvin Texas is the most masculine name ever, be it for man or beast (not suggesting a new name, just an observation). I was gonna name my next pet Floyd (Ben Purr for a cat) but Iām stealing Alvin Texas.
Edit: Iām seriously considering changing my name to Alvin Texas.
āProfessor Rexā
Well, from a purely ālets call Prof X outā perspective, this is the worst thread EVA!
There is a quarterly āProf X stinksā thread and I have to come to have certain expectations.
Where is the steroid discussion?
Where are the asschest observations?
Where are the pejorative observations about his character, body fat percentage, line of profession?
Mehā¦

Home town of Nolan Ryan.
I donāt understand why people dump their pets. Sweet ones too. Surely they can find a friend, relative, coworker or if all else fails a shelter.
I remember I found a dog just out on the street. Had a nasty sore on itās neck where it looked like a chain was rubbing all against it. And this dog looked so innocent and street retarded. I know he wouldnāt last more than a month out their. For only god knows the reason, I got out of my car and with the dog following me ringing doorbells to figure out some information like where he belonged and whatnot. I made signs and posted them all around the block where I found him. I even took him to a shelter to so they could take pictures of him and write up a description of him in case the previous owners called in.
Couldnāt find out anything so I had him hop in my car and took him home. He was shaking like a leaf but seemed to trust me. I almost thought about keeping him but he was annoying the tar out of my dog and hence me so I started looking around for people to take him and low and behold my neighbor, best friend at the time, decided to take him in. I still got to see him for a few months and so did my dog! My dog liked him but only in small doses lol. And there were too many dogs back at home where my folks were which is where I was going when I graduated.

I think a lot of them get loose and then just sort of goober along until theyāve gotten too far from home for their people to find them. I had a lab at one time who was apparently able to open our gate at will, so when he got bored heād go off adventuring in the neighborhood. People knew where he lived and would return him. We had no idea it was going on until we got home one day and no dog. Found him at the shelterā¦heād gone a little further than usual and someone who didnāt recognize him (big, pretty dog) called Animal Control. We fixed the gate and it stopped.
Anyway, friendly dogs can get more aggressive about escape when another dog comes along and plays through the fence, neighbor kids let them out to play sometimes and canāt get them back into the yard, dogs wait for little kids to open house doors and then go charging out into the world to play, etc.
I think itās mostly not anyone being awful, just unfortunate escapes on the part of dogs not savvy enough to get back home.

Unfortunately Q this is not the case.
People dump dogs and cats all the time.
This is not my opinion but what the rescues/dog catchers etc say.
You forget that in America we have become the king of lazy, much easier to drive across town let dog out and drive away. As opposed to actually try to find a home.

I find this statement to be erroneous, and is an over generalization.
I expect you to take it back~
