This is Road Dog, affectionately known as Roadie. He’s been living at my house for the last two weeks, after my roommate found him beside Highway 17 in Francis Marion National Forest.

We already have four dogs at our house and can’t keep him any longer, so he’s going to the pound. That scares me, because “pound” is more like “death row” in these pet-overpopulated days in Charleston (future feature story?)

He’s had blood work done and is disease-free, and I’ll throw in a coupon for a free neuter from the SPCA. He’s a lapdog and loves attention. And he’s got a cherry-eye that the vet says is simple to fix.

If you’re interested in fostering him for awhile, or want to consider adopting him, email me at stratton@charlestoncitypaper.com. He’s with us until Wednesday.
