Small dog needs home...name is Rob Zombie.

Would anyone want to take in a small dog?  I found him last night.  He's been starved and abused, but hasn't barked once and doesn't bite.  Looks like a mix with some Jack Russell in him.  The owner rode his bike by and said he didn't want him because he ran away.  I'm sure he ran away for food or to escape being beaten.  I named him Rob Zombie because he is more human than the human he ran away from.  I would take him if my place allowed dogs.  Please help.  I'm going to pick him up at 6:30 from a girl's place who took him last night.  She'll be giving me a crate, new collar, leash, bag of food, and shampoo so whoever takes him will get all of that.  I think he needs a vet visit.  His legs, chest, and ears are very red.

Ditto on the saints comment. Jon, FYI, chocolate is considered toxic for dogs, so please keep him away from the chocolate chip part of the cookie batter. Also, no grapes, they are also toxic for dogs.

If you get adventurous and want to make home made dog treats---1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 egg, 1 T veg oil, 1 T molasses, one big apple chopped, and a handful of peanuts--mix all but flour and oats in the blender and then add to the flour and oats and mix with a spoon, role into a log (add extra flour or water as needed), slice into 1/4 to 1/2" slices, preheat oven to 375 and bake on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes, leave in oven and do not open oven door for one hour after cooking is complete. You will have a cheap healthy two to three week supply of crunchy treats. I have yet to meet a dog who doesn't love these treats and the oats help to scrape the teeth clean and keep doggie breath at bay.

Hi Sol,

I appreciate the advice on the diet for canines. I assure you, the dog is eating healthier and better than it's previous owner himself. With all the studies on toxicology of chocolate, I must say that he's in no danger. He's also eating nothing but home made food at this point, as well as vitamins I add after the food is made.

Thank you for the concern and the advice on treats.

On a side note ... RZ has become much more playful and energized within the past 8 hours or so. He has finally started to pick up all the toys i've got laying around the house and playing fetch with a tennis ball. I was beginning to think he wasn't a dog for a minute ..
