We found out the hard way! A rottweiler decided to take up residence here and got into our neighbors garbage
. Poor fellow was so skinny, we had been putting food out for him. Instead of the neighbor coming over he called the sheriff. We told him the rottie was a stray that was starving, we had posted him in the paper but no one had called. He told us that since the dog wasn't tagged or licensed we had two choices: take him to the pound or take responsibility for him since we had been feeding him he was considered by law to be our dog! No way would I take him to the pound, the pounds down here kill strays in 30 days and surrendered dogs in 3, (if you take a stray in it's considered a surrender) and charge $75 for adoption, there are lots of big dogs in the pound here and most are put down. So, we got him tagged and licensed and found him a home ourselves. We get a lot of strays here and I refuse to take them to the pound. We take care of them for 30 days, tag 'em and find 'em homes. Most people around here won't even look for a missing dog, they just get another. I live in a rural county in KY and it's ridiculous at the amount of dogs that just roam the countryside, sometimes they form packs and turn wild, when that happens they kill the whole gang. It isn't fair to those poor creatures, it breaks my heart.
