RE: [Grateful Vibe #60] Grateful for a Returned Pet
It is a pretty safe bet if they have tags you won't get stuck with it, we have a tendency to have the tagless ones show up, and despite all efforts to locate the owners, it seems like we end up with them more times than not. Glad it all worked out in the end.
We found a way to deal with the tagless ones getting dumped down in front of our house. It was born of desperation. The no-help animal shelter was closed for their usual 3 day weekend ... and it was a late summer evening. So we were looking at a very very long ordeal of keeping it quarantined away from our dogs, etc.
My brilliant husband said ... go get a stake, a lead, and a very big cardboard box. He doubled up the lead to shorten it, fastened the dog to the staked lead, and on the box wrote "Free dog or Pound dog." Someone picked that dog up in under 30 minutes. We honestly didn't have a lot of hope that it would work.
