Shelter refuses to return lost dog
#1
It is a scary thing to have a dog out there lost. Imagine the joy when the dog was found...at a shelter...and then horrors, the shelter won't release him. This is an old dog. He doesn't understand all the legal, procedural issues. He just wants to go home.

There are lots of things the family could have done differently. Certainly they could have done a better search. The dog could have been micro chipped and licenced. None of that matters to the dog. He just wants to go home.

Why does the shelter exist if it is not there to help animals. In this case they should just hand the dog over and be happy that a lost dog has found his way home. What they are doing is not right even if it is legal. It certainly isn't fair or kind to the dog.

That's just very sad. The poor old boy will just want to be with his people. Whatever fine, or fee they have to pay, just let the old boy go home.

It seems bizarre that shelters do things like this. If they were thinking of the dog they would return him quickly. He just wants to go home. Why are they not rushing to get him home.

I don't care what their reasons are, let the dog go home.
