Found this sweet guy in the national forest we were camping in. He’s been alone for a long time. This was out in the middle of nowhere so appears he was just dumped. Been feeding small amounts of kibble every few hours which he inhales. He’s got a consistent supply of water and a warm blanket. Not sure what to do here because I’m from out of state…looking for some local help! He’s very gentle, sweet and very curious. Getting better on leash and going to attempt a bath when it warms up.

I am a 501c3 rescue. The majority of my found treasures have been dumped by hunters Please do not take to a shelter. Hounds rarely get out alive If you exhaust all viable resources, please email me nancygump1@gmail.com Thank you for saving him.

I saw the original post by the finder of this skinny hound dog in the Croatan National Forest near Havelock, North Carolina, which is over a 2-hour Drive from the zip code 27704 in North Durham. I think the finder may be trying to determine if someone from this area was camping there and lost their dog. As skinny as the dog looked in one of the pictures in the original post, he looks like he has not been fed for a month or more. The finder also checked with the Forest Rangers who said no one had reported losing a dog in the forest. Also, the dog is not microchipped

There is a small animal shelter in Havelock. It closes at 3. Craven County also has an animal shelter. Misplaced Mutts is a rescue located in Beaufort, NC but they probably pull from a shelter. Thanks for trying to help this poor dog! Please don't give him to just anyone claiming to help as there are people who use dogs like this as bait dogs for dog fighting!
