[QUOTE=tassibo;4446344]And while I have been posting about the lost dog I've found, I've had all kinds of issues with people trying to false claim her. So far, three different people have tried to claim her. None have pictures. One couldn't tell me the breed. The other said it was a boy (it's a girl). I spoke with local law enforcement and they said the burden of proof lies with the owner. If it's truly missed the owner will post and will look for the lost dog.
So now...I wait and see. I just want her taken care of.[/QUOTE]
And what if you found out she wasn't being taken care of? Legally, she still belongs to that owner and if you chose to keep her because you didn't approve of the circumstances that she was being kept in, you could be charged with a crime.
I understand that you want what is best for the dog and I appreciate that you are taking care of her, but you have to go about this the right way.
