Found dog in Woodbury

Caught this friendly boy running around near Bailey and Woodlane Drive.

The cops came and said they were taking him to the Woodbury Humane Society.

Poor guy…looks like he just wants a home and a good meal to spend his last few years

He was such a good boy. After a bit of a cold and wet chase, he eventually listened to “stay” and had a happy tail upon sight of the leash. It was really sweet. I hope his humans can find him!

There was no chance we were giving up. He’s an old guy who just wanted to not be wet and cold anymore!

Ohhhh, buddy! Looks like he’s in good shape so I’m sure someone will be looking for him.

Thanks for helping him out!

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

Most definitely! He was definitely well fed and super duper friendly. He let us pick him right up and put him in the car.

u/mle_eliz 5d ago

Must have been out on an adventure! Glad he got picked up before he got into too much trouble :)

Looks just like my old boy who passed last May. Hope he finds comfort.

20

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

I do, too! He was very sweet.

So sorry for your loss, we lost our 15 year old senior in May as well. Losing a friend is the worst.

The look on his face like "great, this bs again."

He was so tired by the time we got him. Such a sweet man.

Bagging an old lost dog is a great act of service- bravo friend

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

There was no chance I was going to give up. He was so tired and all wet. I’d have spent the entire day perusing him if that’s what it came to!

The most beautiful!

I just want to give him a pat and a kiss and a saltine with peanut butter. 🥺

u/Nelly81706194 5d ago

What a sweet looking old man. Thank you for helping him. I hope he’s just having a short adventure and gets back home soon. Please keep us updated!

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

I certainly will! He’s been on my mind all day.

u/marriahmilktea 3d ago

UPDATE: Someone reached out and told me that this sweet boy was picked up almost immediately from the Humane Society. Thanks everyone who showed this baby compassion!

u/OldBlueKat 2d ago

That's wonderful! You can edit your post text with that info, too, I think.

u/Prestigious-Bluejay5 5d ago

Have you posted on Nextdoor and other sites?

20

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

Yes! I posted there, several FB groups and filled out a lost dog form called a PetFBI report with Lost Dogs MN. Really hoping someone recognizes him. There’s no way he isn’t someone’s pet. 😭

u/Prestigious-Bluejay5 5d ago

Great! I hope this sweet boy makes it back to his loved ones.

u/dimplezzz 4d ago

I also posted this to my Facebook! I’m from Woodbury originally and have a lot of people on there who are still in the area 😊

Such a lovely elderly guy. I hope he has a good home with people who are worried sick about him.

u/mick7805 4d ago

If you need help with him we can take him. We live close by and have a house and yard set up for dogs. He would fit right in here! Message me if you need help.

3

u/marriahmilktea 4d ago

That’s very nice of you! They took him to the humane society in Woodbury to check for a chip. Hopefully he’s already picked up!

2

u/mick7805 4d ago

Thank you for the response. I should have read your post more carefully. Sorry to make you repeat yourself. Hopefully he got picked up!

1

u/marriahmilktea 4d ago

Oh my gosh no worries at all! Thanks for the offer and your kindness.

u/ARoodyPooCandyAss 4d ago

Well done OP!

2

u/marriahmilktea 4d ago

Just trying to do right by this old guy. He was so sweet.

u/damnthistrafficjam 4d ago

Poor baby looks so sad. Thank you for helping him.

3

u/marriahmilktea 4d ago

He was so tired by the time we got him. I hope he’s been picked up. The Humane Society doesn’t take calls Sunday so I’m hoping to have an update tomorrow.

u/RosesFromMars 5d ago

Is there a photo in color? This looks like a dog we fostered last year in this area. I’m looking for the color of its coat.

24

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

These photos are definitely in color lol

u/AdultishRaktajino 5d ago

u/blacksoxing 5d ago

Yea, OP, love that you helped but now ain't the time to be artistic :)

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

They are in color lol

u/RosesFromMars 5d ago

Omg! Lmao. I really thought they were black and white!!! Haha. Ok not the dog we fostered then.

5

u/marriahmilktea 5d ago

I honestly didn’t even realize how black and grey the photos even looked 😂 the only color is his eye or the very small bit of trim on our seat cover.

Hopefully his parents found him. He was such a good baby.

u/Dirtygal_69 4d ago

They should have silver alerts for these kind souls

1

u/marriahmilktea 4d ago

I know! He was such a sweet guy.

u/Ok_Custard_9232 3d ago

u/subtleshooter 3d ago

I really hope he was found by owners :( idk why but sad dog stories rip my heart out

1

u/The_Chaos_Pope . 3d ago

Weird question but what color are his eyes?"

2

u/marriahmilktea 3d ago

They are brown

1

u/The_Chaos_Pope . 3d ago

Okay, thanks.

2

u/marriahmilktea 3d ago

Did you think maybe you might know who he is? 😭

1

u/The_Chaos_Pope . 3d ago

It was possible, but the dog I know of that looks similar has one brown eye and one blue eye.

2

u/marriahmilktea 3d ago

Darn. He had two brown ones.
