Anyone in the San Antonio area. Looking for a lovable doggy.

Mar 7, 2017 1:54 AM

Three days ago I asked imgur for help finding a home for Spikey (https://imgur.com/gallery/2scAn). I got a lot of support. His new owner is @Bonepilestudio. Thank you Imgur community I'm so happy this guy is going to a good home. Even though our time together was short I'll miss the little guy.

Edit. This dog has been around my neighborhood for WEEKS. I thought it may have belonged to someone at first. But what kind of owner neglects to feed, give it home while it's cold. Not to mention how he flinched when I went to pet it. So I gave it food and water and it stuck around. I feel I did the right thing and would do it again.

FP Edit. To everyone asking about the chip Iv ask the new owner to check and if doesn't ill take it back to the right. Forgive me for wanting to make sure the dog finds a good home. The neighborhood i live in is full of strays and people who do not take care of their pets at all. I did check craigslist, SA humane So, other lost pet sites and nothing
My intentions were good nonetheless.

FP Edit 2. New owner informed me he's been well behaved, not house broken at all getting him out side is a 2 person job. Poor guy may have a heart worm and hasn't been neutered. He will be going to the vet next week soonest available appt

FP edit 3. NO chip scanned with 2 readers.

He's sweet I think he was abused at some time he's kind of scared of new people including kids but is not aggressive. Got him to trust my over 1 burgers. I can't give him the home he deserves. So if anyone in the San Antonio TX area. Get in touch please

Is he good with cats?

9 years ago | Likes 76 Dislikes 0

Healers are quick learners so even if he isn't he could probably be trained to be

I mean, I'm sure with the right seasonings he'd go well with them.

Not sure. He is a stray. With how timid he is I think he would be a push over to any cat.

9 years ago | Likes 56 Dislikes 1

what kind of dog is he?

9 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

Australian cattle dog. Great pets but high energy and may have the tendency to "herd" or nip heels if they weren't trained properly as a pup

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The only issue those dogs would have with cats is they may try to nudge them around to "herd" them but they're very rarely aggressive.

He's a mutt. Half amazing, half terrific.

He's an Australian cattle dog. Maybe not purebred, but there's no doubt in my mind. My mom has raised them my whole life.

There is no way to really know with strays. Even the expensive blood tests are often subjective.
