Three-Legged Abandoned Dog Needs a Home

Luke's time in foster care is running out.

Posted by Kevin Madigan (Editor), November 20, 2012 at 05:06 pm

A local dog who was abandoned is being offered free to someone who can give him a good home.

Luke, who is missing one of his hind legs, was found tied at a vacant house in the Tucker area. He is currently in temporary foster care but will have to go to the pound if a home is not found for him very soon.

He is described as a "great, loving dog." Call 779 584 6237 if you can help!

I've got a friend up in Connecticut who would take him in a heartbeat if there was a way to get him up there. Contact me at colorista at gmail if this is a viable option.

Well,in Tucker and many other places it's not humans moving into areas that were once for wildlife…Read More only. The coyotes have no memory of that. This is part of a general acclimitization of wildlife (deer, coyote, fox, turkey - even bear) to suburban and even quasi-urban conditions. Food is plentiful as are hiding places, and enemies are few. Coyotes do not need to be eradicated, but their needs to be a removal and/or sterilization program in areas where coyotes are a threat.

Yes I do believe in protecting wildlife and preserving our natural world as best as possible at this…Read More point. And yes I think we've messed up our planet by over populating as humans. Having said that...now that we have densely populated urban & suburban areas as in the metro Atlanta area including tucker, I think coyotes or rattlesnakes or other carnivorous animals need to be kept to a minimum in densely populated areas...the solution is for us to have zero population growth & preserve lands where wildlife & exist without us encroaching on them...but coyote attacks in backyards 10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people...nah, something's wrong with that...animal control...do your job!!!

I am unapologetic about our human numbers on this wonderful planet! This bit of land that I care…Read More for, "10 miles from the center of a city of 7 million people" is well-fenced. I do think that Animal Control ought to trap and remove coyotes that threaten my pets! Evidently the coyote wasn't rabid, thank goodness! But this was a LARGE animal, large enough to be a threat to small children. If they run and hunt in packs, they would be dangerous to humans, I think. So it's not just pets.
