The third time I found the dog roaming I called Animal Control to come get it, since the dog was there before the fee was hefty to get him back, around $150.00 I called the guy and told him where the dog was and that he could get the dog and if he did and I saw the dog roaming I would do it again and again. I also called two rescue groups who said they would take the dog if he did not get adopted. I could tell from the way the guy sounded on the phone that he thought the dog was a pain and might not pick the dog up. He said he only got him for a daughter that did not take care of the dog like she said she would (big surprise there). He never did show up to collect the dog and after the waiting period the dog was adopted quickly by a family that had been looking for a small pug like dog.
It's obvious that these people don't care about the dog, so like others suggested give the owner a call to see if he wants to give up the dog to a rescue type group. Perhaps someone else could make the phone call since like me you probably would have a hard time being civil to him. Like you said the next time might not have a good outcome and then you will be kicking yourself. Do you happen to know of anyone that would take the little guy? |
I really can't be civil with them...I was barely that way yesterday when he called Choco stupid. If I hadn't been at work and in the lobby in front of customers IDK what I would have said to him...It sure would have been more than what I did say. I would have no problem finding Choco a good home.
