We found his owner!! (See my "Found Hound" post below.) Evidently he had a bath on Saturday night and escaped from his backyard when he was supposed to be drying off - thus the missing collar.
This works out really well because I was getting WAY TOO attached to him. We'd been calling him "Buckets" since he was a bit of a crybaby and cried buckets of tears wanting to be held and cuddled all the time. His actual name: Rebel. Not near as cute as "Buckets" in my opinion but whatev.
On Tuesday morning after we'd all but lost hope of finding his owners, I sent an email to a dozen or so friends in search of someone to take him in. We knew we couldn't keep him because we leave for China very soon and oh yeah did I mention that we currently live in a condo with a rather large German Shepherd who did not request a little brother? I attached the photos from my previous blog post to the email, and included a few details about him with both Tanner's and my cellphone numbers. We were inundated with phone calls from people all over the Coast offering to give him a home!! My faith in humanity has been completely restored and it made me feel so good to know that there are so many kindhearted people in the world. I even connected with a lady who "fosters" dogs like Buckets/Rebel on a regular basis while they're in search of a permanent family.
YAY Happy Ending!!
