[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 541400, member: 84"] easy child called the dog warden but only got his voice mail. (typical) I reminded her that vets in town close at noon (but it's friday they close at 5pm, not enough coffee yet) and if she didn't see/hear from the guy she needed to muzzle Blue and have sister in law lift him into the car and run him out to the pound. Otherwise poor boy will not see a vet until Monday. Because I dunno if the pound can get a vet to come out for them or not. *owner* thing didn't pan out. I did get tons of responses, but it seems from those responses he's been a stray for quite a while..........folks in the area have been feeding watering him because he is so darn sweet and lovable. And I admit, he's rather stubborn about you giving him affection when he wants it. LOL One mom said he's been walking her daughter home from work every night, daughter had grown quite fond of him, and felt safe with him next to her. People around here are really bad about if they don't want the animal, can't afford to take care of the animal, can't move with the animal..........they dump the animal. It makes me livid. (probably somewhat because too many of them wind up on my doorstep) They still firmly believe the pound means "death", and our no kill shelter is ALWAYS full to capacity. But our pound no longer means instant death. They have a great bunch of volunteers that foster, find families to adopt, and find rescues for the dogs.....so that our death rate has dropped profoundly. We actually see more dogs find loving families from the dog pound than the no kill shelter these days. And regardless........being put to sleep is far better than having been hit by a car, in severe pain, lying in 104 degrees with no water. omg But that is why no one called the dog warden until this morning when easy child did it.
