Lost Dog - Don't know what to do! [OWNER FOUND]
I don't know if this dog as an owner or not and I'm at a loss of what to do but just keep it and look out for "lost dog" posters. I have plenty of food and water and I'm thinking of giving it a bath since its dirty. *poor thing* Any idea what I do?

Some people do, some people don't. Mine aren't mainly because my moms against it for some reason, but once I move my cat is getting chipped since he likes to sneak out.Castile wrote:Do ppl microchip pets in the US? If so take it to a vet and they can read the chip and find the owner that way. They also might know the dog if it's from around that area.
Definitely take him to a vet and see if they can scan for chips as well as let your local shelter know.

Re: Lost Dog - Don't know what to do!
Ah cool. Yeah I think it's law here (I know my state has the new "Cat Act" coming into force Nov where all cats need to be chipped and registared with the local council). I think it's a good idea, means if your pet is stolen too they can find you pretty quick to give it backBonita wrote:Some people do, some people don't.

Re: Lost Dog - Don't know what to do!
I think this is a great idea too, it also regulates how many pets (cats and dogs) people have and they can then be held accountable/tracked down if having too many and not looking after them properly. It's win win all around.Castile wrote: Ah cool.

It's almost certain its owner would come to claim it at the shelter. But if you're at all worried you can always ask to keep informed and find a home for it if nobody else wants it.

I don't agree with shelters that do that..Qinni wrote:Mkay. I think my shelter has a vet there on some days. I'll see if it has a chip. Though my shelter will euthanize animals if they don't find a home though. :C
I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

Re: Lost Dog - Don't know what to do!
*shrugs* The shelter here isn't a no kill. I guess we are lucky here, as they use pet stores to help find homes for the pets so this lowers the load on the shelter. Most of the time the pet stores have at least a couple empty spots as well.Wain wrote:I don't know much about how they operate, but I believe that no shelter wants to. They're generally staffed by people who love animals and are trying to save them. But in a society where too many people treat animals as disposable accessories they can only take so many before they run out of space and money. It's truly awful.
Q: Are you a "no-kill" animal shelter?
A: The term "no-kill" is a misleading term. Most "no-kill" shelters select the types of animals they take in, bypassing those that are ill or of poor temperament or health. In order for the OHS to be considered "no-kill" we would have to limit the types and numbers of animals we accept. The OHS is an "open admission " animal shelter that offers shelter and care to animals regardless of age, health, temperament, or space available.

Re: Lost Dog - Don't know what to do! [OWNER FOUND]
For the record, all my pets, whether canine or feline, are microchipped. After seeing the havoc that the tornadoes caused in the Birmingham area back in 2011, I swore that my pets would all be chipped so that, gods forbid something like that happens again, they could be quickly reunited with me by having their chips scanned when they got picked up. Permanent identification like that is never, ever a bad idea. Also for the record, I've been very happy with the HomeAgain chip company, if anyone's looking to get their pets microchipped.
