On a Sunday morning the first part of January, someone saw a dog walking down a very busy road in North Myrtle Beach and picked him up.  The finder was heading to a property as he was a real estate agent but didn't know what to do with the hungry, thirsty Hound. All shelters were closed. He posted on a local page, and someone tagged me. I honestly did not think there was anything we could do. The odds of a foster stepping up at that time were slim. 
Someone offered who was about an hour away and the finder drove the sweet boy to her!  If no one had stepped up to help, the dog would have most likely been let loose to fend for himself. The shelters are over capacity.
I tried to find out if the dog had an owner and was told hunting season was over, so the "owner" didn't want the dog anymore. We couldn't confirm this, but "Mick" did not have a chip, and no one claimed him during the next week as we searched for an owner.
The following day we had terrible storms, winds, and downpours. Schools and businesses were closed. I can't imagine this poor soul being out there. So thankful for the people who went out of their way to help him. After the stray hold was up, he joined PLP officially and began his journey to a new, happy, healthy life. 
Mick was treated for a tickborne illness during the next month and settled in surprisingly well for a discarded hound. He learned leash, crate and house manners and we all fell in love with him. 
Hounds are typically overlooked and not easily adopted. They can be a misunderstood breed with their intelligence and aloof demeaner. 
Well, yesterday, Mick found his person!!! We are over the moon! 
Tears of joy as I realized Mick and Pam belong together. He is HOME!!! 
Pam had recently lost two seniors and Mick is a PERFECT fit! 
Congratulations to our sweet boy. Our hearts are so full. 
Without someone stepping up to foster, none of this would have happened! So thank you so much Ann-Dee for all you have done for Mick! You are his savior!
Thank you, Pam! You are an amazing human for giving a discarded hound a new life.
