I don't think that flyers have been posted or that anything else has been done to locate the owner. The only thing that I'm aware of is that the finder has posted on a lost and found page on FB. The owner might not see that FB page, flyers weren't posted at the local vets, etc. To give the dog away without trying to find the owner, in my opinion, is wrong. Especially giving the dog to a relative. |
Since we're talking about lost and found, a quick reminder to my YT peeps, please make sure your info is updated on your dog's tags and readable (if you use tags on a collar) and microchips!! I found a dog a few months ago, romping in my yard. I caught him and couldn't make heads or tails of his tag. I took him with me on my afternoon walk (I was heading out for our walk when I found him) and stopped every person I saw to see if someone recognized him. A few hours later, I found his home 2 doors down from my house. Would have been faster if I could just read his tags!
