I doubt anyone would say he was picked up by his owner if not true.

Nonetheless someone should call this morning. I will check on here later to see if anyone has and will check myself if not.

Oh I see, Let's all check and make sure though, he is so cute, and we cannot let him die. I would take him but I am in the UK, so I can't, they wouldn't let me and the flight could kill him with the shock.

I'd like to know more details, was this just a "lost" dog that they were going to gas in a week? This means that this could happen to any one of our pets.

Hi that is a good point and a worry, I guess if our babies are microchipped it may prevent this from happening ?

That's another thing, some people have said that their local pounds don't even scan first, I think this should always been done, as soon as they find a dog, but apparently it isn't in some places. Chip companies say they will give scanners out for free, so money shouldn't be an excuse.

That is awful, forgive me for stating the obvious but I thought that is WHY we have them mircrochipped, so pounds know who they belong to. I am lost for words, it just gets worse and worse ....

Most shelters don't have scanners and I think that's a crime. The counties should always make sure the shelters have what they need in order to save lives. How shabby of them.

Like another member, I too contacted them to make sure that they weren't going to kill him.

I have it also confirmed he is back with his owner !!!!!

I don't know.. but don't they have to keep a dog for so long if it's "lost"?
I never asked how long they had Reggie before I took him. I do know that a person found him and put up photos of a found dog and no one came for him. So would that count for the time in a shelter too? I hope not, 1 week is not enough time!

I think this varies state by state, I guess we should all try and learn what our state's policy is regarding this.

It varies from state to state and also from shelter to shelter. Some are sticklers about the laws and some try to hold longer.
Some of them euthanize after as little as three days.

That is just awful, what chance would an owner have of getting their lost dog back.

I know, and another problem is that many people won't even turn dogs into the pound for this reason.

If the dog traveled far, not much. But, in that case, it is a slim chance anyway.

I tell people all of the time...first thing to do is to flood the area the dog disappeared in with signs! Put a description and pic if possible and a telephone number....as large as possible!

Then, call shelters in the area....and call them EVERY day! Sometimes a dog will end up in a shelter days later and the shelters do not always keep track of who has a lost pet. Just keep calling!

He's in a kill shelter and only has till next Friday to be adopted, I'm cross posting this because I want as many people as possible to see this, and this little guy doesn't have much time. Isn't there someone that would like to have another Yorkie? Here's the thread, http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...helter-nc.html
