Gorgeous black German shepherd is found on side of the road in a kennel, simply left to die
When a traveler recently found a dog abandoned in a kennel on the side of the road, the question soon turned to who would do such a thing. Unfortunately, dog abandonment is an ongoing problem in the U.S. Fortunately, it does not see like this dog was abandoned, though that won’t truly be known until his owner is found.
Waiting for his owner’s return
When found, the black German shepherd was in a small, portable kennel on the side of the road. Initially, he refused to exit his kennel, even when the person who found him approached to check on him. It was as if he was waiting for his owner to return for him. The person who found him posted on his Facebook page in the hopes of finding out more information about who he belonged to.
Why was this beautiful dog dumped?
Facebook users who responded to the post figured that he had not been dumped as the dog looked to be very expensive. More than likely, he had been stolen and dumped at the location. After he was caught, the dog, named Borel, was taken to a local vet where it was found that he had a microchip. From there it was determined that he had actually come from a breeder and they were soon contacted.
Borel is safe
Borel is now safe and why he was dumped is being investigated. The person who found him posted a status update on their Facebook page to let everyone know Borel was okay. It was also revealed that Borel would be going back to the breeder who originally sold him to his owner.
What to do if you find an abandoned dog
If you happen to find a dog abandoned on the side of the road, there are a few steps you can take to ensure their safety. Start by carefully approaching the dog, making sure not to make any threatening gestures. If they seem aggressive, refrain from approaching them and call your local Animal Control or police department.
One way to catch their attention is to use food. Crumble up the food or treat and spread it on the ground. If they approach, try not to stare at them or use any aggressive movements, as they could misinterpret these actions. You should also extend your open palm for them to sniff and avoid any sudden movements.
It is crucial to avoid scaring them, especially if you find them on the side of the road. If scared, the dog might run into traffic and get injured or killed. Remaining calm that the dog is safely caught and transported to a shelter where they can get the help they need.
It is also important to have your pet microchipped. This can help find them if they become lost or are stolen, as most shelters look for chips when someone brings an abandoned or stray animal in.
