My trail cameras had been picking up pictures of various straggly and uncollared dogs running on my property. In the interest of the wildlife, they're not welcome there. I have a very large live trap and so i baited it with some hotdogs and set it out. Last weekend i caught a medium size brown mutt, and drove it to the pound trap and all. But the employees couldn't get the leash over its head and it got loose inside the fence. They chased it around and it found a hole in the fence and got loose which they didnt' seem overly worried about it.
Then i caught another dog and took it out. They insisted they were closed and weren't going to take the dog after i drove it out there 12 miles one way. Well, if they were there, what's the big deal to put the dog in a pen. Otherwise i'm going to have to drive back the next day and with my truck's gas mileage we're talking probably 4 gallons of gas for two round trips. Well luckily my MIL was along and she doesn't take any crap and so they soon decided to make an exception. She said they were being cruel and inhuman to turn the dog away because it is obviously starving and she was going to tell everyone not to give any more contributions to them. So, anyway they did finally take the dog. It just seems like you have to do 90 percent of their job and then twist their arm to get them to do their little part. It just makes you wonder if this kind of an outfit would give the dogs much chance for adoption or just euthanize them ASAP, since they seem so eager to turn them away.
