The hard part is that he now trusts us--no longer skiddish--likes to be petted and sits close. I know he will be adopted--as he would make the perfect "Village Dog" for someone. Just know the longer I keep him the harder it will be for me. My granddaughter wants me to "mail him to Richmond"--she is an animal lover as well--already has 2 cats--her dad has 2 dogs. We go back to Richmond (our hometown) every three months for a week or more as we have all family/friends (including my husband's 92 yr old father) there. Wish the phone would ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How strange that no-one has called. I would think that if the owners are away, perhaps a neighbour in Belvedere Village would recognize the dog. I hope the dog wasn't just brought to The Villages and abandoned.

I think people who abandon dogs are the lowest of vermin, right up there with pedophiles.

I have my fingers crossed that the owners will claim their dog today. A comforting thought is that many, many rescue dogs are adopted by loving Villagers and end up with great homes.
