Not a lost dog, just looking for a little assistance for helps? Tonight I encountered a homeless man, Chris, outside of Walmart, who was asking for food for his dog. As In Walmart with him getting food for himself and his dog, he mentioned that his dog, "weirdo", is approximately 1 year old and is experiencing a cough and hip pain due to lack of treatment. Chris transports weirdo in a wagon filled with blankets, and although the dog walks relatively fine, the cough persists intermittently. Unfortunately, Chris cannot afford the necessary treatment. I suggested that surrendering the dog would be the best option to ensure it receives proper care, but Chris is hesitant as weirdo is his one friend. He is unsure of where to take the dog and mentioned that PACC is too far for him to travel by bike. Are there any alternative rescues or resources available to assist Chris or his dog? Asked his phone number in case I found some info that might help him but he currently does not have one. He stays in the area surrounding Golflinks and Kolb, and I plan to research and attempt to locate him again within the next few days. Again not sure if I'm allowed to post this in here so please delete if not. I'm just trying find this puppy some help. - in Tucson.
