Property next to where I board my horse has a bunch of people living there in house and a couple RVs. Over the two years they have been there, dogs have come and gone. Also have some farm animals.
- Maybe 2+ weeks ago a boxer dog was laying outside their fence near closed driveway gate. No one home. One of our boarders has seen him inside the fence so several hours later she put him in.
- A little over a week ago a boxer (same dog) was found wandering on busy 2 lane road about a mile away, picked up by caring person and eventually returned to owner. Owner had not been looking for dog.
- Yesterday morning a boxer found again, near the busy 2 lane road in someone’s pasture, a mile or more away. Yep, same boxer. Dog apparently has chip, this finder somehow tracked down original owner. Orig owner gave the dog to his close friend a while ago, but would not give finder their # or address but said he would tell them who has found the dog.
I have been in contact with finder via FB. She is still awaiting contact from the current owner; I’m having real concerns about the dog going back to that property, as he’s clearly not properly contained and will end up getting killed. Finder’s inclination, after I updated her on the recent history is to wait for owner to call and if they dont, after mandatory period, put the dog with a rescue group for adoption.
I could pick the dog up and take it to its current home, but I’m not inclined to do that given my concerns. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
