We are in Mulford HIlls Subdivision. I have talked to Animal Control and to Hal, he has been out and watched Rio from a distance while he played with our dog. I have been updating Hal and he has been responding to my emails. Animal Control put a trap out a week ago, Rio walks right past it. After two days we started feeding him again. We had continued to set out water. He is very faithful and knows our schedule and when our dog will be out. The neighbors are aware of him and we are all just trying to keep him in the area so he feels secure and does not run again. He has come within a foot of me one time and a few feet of my husband. He knows his name but if you call him, he runs. I will not call Animal Control again except to have them move the trap. I was told 2 days ago that they can not sit on my doorstep and that Rio does not want a family he is a runner and this is what he wants. I was so upset with that remark I told the lady to forget it and hung up. Rio does not trust humans I don't know what it will take to win his trust. If he turns away I just go back in the house because I don't want to scare him off. He really is a sweet and beautiful dog. I would like to have the phone number of his foster Mom or maybe she could contact Hal and pay a visit to Rio. I do think he wants a family he just has to be kept safe until he can trust humans again. I would love to get him into the house because the nights are so cold. You can reach me days at 815/654-5015 and evenings at 815/885-2437. Thanks you, Kay Elliott Hi, Rio has been hanging out with our Golden Retriever for a little over 2 weeks now.
