You need to cover all options to find the owners. She was dressed and I am sure she was the light of someones eyes. Because she was following an older man she may belong to an older couple. It's very hard for the elderly to get out and look for their dog. Please try your best to find her owners it can be heart breaking when someone looses there fur baby just read some of the lost threads...
You very well may get a reward as well as a heads up to where a local breeder is from the owners of the dog.
Give yourself at least a month long window to find the owners. At that point you should start to buy things for the dog. Like a bed and special bowls.
When you post flyers don't mention the dog had the dress on at the time. let that be the identifying factor for the real owners. You may also be asked to send photos to someone who thinks she could be theirs. The owners are much better to judge or gage from a photo then you would be to see an older photo of them. So please don't assume that just because the dogs hair is longer or shorter then any photos posted that it can't be their missing dog.
Last but not least have a vet look the dog over check for any signs of spay and other type surgeries she may of had. Get a full check up with blood work and understand that every dog can have health issues even tho they look fine. If you find that the dog has a problem and you can't afford to cover the cost please contact a rescue and tell them the full story about the dog including how you came across her.
Beyond that if she's not your forever baby I sure hope you find yours soon. |
