I'm still lost and I read the thread
Where is the dog now and do the owners not want her back
She's here at the moment in my backyard. Her owners leave her tied out in their yard all the time. She's not allowed inside.
She's escaped 6 times that I've seen in only a few months. Three of those times I found her. The owners would come over with the prong collar and litterally drag the dog back down the street to their house to chain her back up after telling the dog to be "happy now" cause once they get home she's "really going to get it". It's been really hot lately (upper/mid 90's F) and she seemed dehydrated.
They know where I live and that she tends to go to my house, but they have not come over to check, put up signs or anything. All I'm gonna do is turn her into the HS. If they really want her back they will go there, and pay the fine to get her back. If they don't (which I suspect they won't bother) then I'll adopt her and possibly keep her or find her a better home.
Make sense now?
Honestly, if I got the impression that the owner cared about this dog at all, and just had trouble keeping her in their yard I'd return her again and try to see if I could give them some more advice on how to fix it. But I don't get that from them at all. They seem to not care, seems like the dog is just a lawn ordament to them.
Especially since I mentioned the VERY VERY busy 40 mph road down the street that she was heading towards to get to my house. They didn't seem to mind if she got hit at all. Either that or they are in denial that it's possible for her to get hti by a car?
Who knows, but either way. If they want her back and care for her, they can find her at the shelter.
