Semper Fi Maranda, I would not take to the shelter. 1) They only accept animals they think that they could find homes for, Rots have a tendency to be difficult... However, they may. 2) Several areas i have lived in have not allowed certain dog breeds and Rots have been on all those lists. It would be better trying to advertise on some websites. Someone out there would want it.
I wouldn't take him to the pound. Take his picture and post it on Facebook.
