I only have a few minutes but I want to ask your advice before I leave for my dentist appt. My kids and I went out earlier and on our way home I almost hit a (big) puppy that was on the shoulder of the road. She went into someone's yard but she was loose and it bothered me, so I turned around and went up to the house of the yard she was in. A woman came out and said it wasn't her puppy but she was "over there all the time" playing with her two Rat Terrier dogs that she cables outside for some during the day. She said the puppy belonged to a neighbor who lived ACROSS THE ROAD (this is a busy road that connects 2 highways, with tons of subdivisions and houses on it!) but he was never home during the day. I looked at the yard where the puppy lives and there was no fence for her and I did not see where he had her tied anywhere either. She has a collar but no tags... no name tag, no rabies tag, nothing. There is a leash law in our county. This loose puppy is a danger to not only herself, but to motorists who may swerve to avoid her in the road (as I did.) I have her cabled to a tree in my front yard right now. What should I do? Should I take her back to her owner (who has a big "private property" sign attached to his front porch) or should I try to get her into rescue. She looks to be about 4 months old, or so, and she is going to be enormous. She has HUGE feet and she looks like a Boxer/Great Dane mix.... black and white. Beautiful, sweet, playful as all get out. She deserves more than becoming road kill.
Gotta run now, will check replies when I get back. Thanks!
