a little over a week ago, my dog was going crazy. I went to investigate and there was this little brown female under the truck shaking. it had a collar on, so I got a leash and clipped it on the collar. it knew what to do. it wanted to go for a walk even though it was just skin and bones sticking out. I walked it over to nearest neighbor to see if they were missing a dog, nope. I walked it back home and tied it up, gave it big bowl of food and water and it ate till it was bloated.
next day went and put up found dog notice on bulletin board in front of local gas station/store/lunch counter. its been over a week and no one has called. I dont want the dog. my road is on a large river and for some reason people continually dump off unwanted pets at the highway bridge that crosses the river about a half dozen miles away. ive asked everyone I can if they are missing a dog and nobody wants it. some folks around here just automatically shoot these strays when they come around. I thought about taking it to the other side of the river and letting it go. there is no animal control or anything like that in my county.
the last stray that neighbor found they called the sheriff and he came out and shot it. someone told me about an animal shelter in neighboring county about 30 miles away. for now its well fed and watered. but my cats sure dont approve of her while my dog roofuss lets the cats nibble out of his bowl when he's done eating.
what would you do
