For that reason and several others, not much new has happened with the semi-feral dog I'm watching. I paid a site visit and talked to some locals. I plan to work on him more later this month.
But of course, we can't do life without a foster dog. So we got Elvie.
She's a puppy who came into rescue after someone spotted her falling out of the back of a pickup truck and stopped on the side of the road to help her. The person driving the pickup never tried to find her again.
She could be a Dane/greyhound mix or she could just be a Dane. She's small bodied and long legged. She's clingy, but will cuddle with other dogs at times and actually leave people alone. She's very afraid of men, but will throw herself on them once she comes to trust them.

She also likes to chew on corners of wooden things, so every wooden thing in my house has its corners covered in bubble wrap and tape and she has to be crated if left alone.
She loves people and wants to go with them whenever possible. She came with me to work today and behaved very well and loved everyone who wasn't male.
She goes to her new home Sunday.
