I would be posting fliers for a found dog. |
We did post flyers and I contacted every vet in a 50 mile radius. I had her checked for a microchip and had her vet checked as she was in such horrid condition. Vet stated that if she had had vet care in the last couple of years she would not have had the extensive problems that she has had, she had a wide variety of very old skin infections, infections in her mount, ears, etc. About $1,000 later she is now in great health and on her way, as soon as the puppies are weaned, for spaying and teeth removal and cleaning. Also, where we live is alot of wildlife, ie, coyotes, bobcats, feral dogs, etc. She would not have survived out in the cold very long. We live in a very rural area and know all of our neighbors EXCEPT for the 2 puppy mills. I choose not to know them because it breaks my heart. We do not have any animal control in this area and the sheriff's office "doesn't have time" to check out the counties puppy mills.
