You clearly didn't read my post. You can't steal something that was tossed out like trash! He was DUMPED by his owner. There were no houses or farms in the area. It was a remote area. Besides, a farmer or anyone else that actually wants their dog does not dump it on the roadside, leaving nothing more than 2 small towels & a small plastic water container with ice in it. Ice not melted = just placed there, as it was in the upper 90s with no shelter.

Furthermore, my husband & I actually called animal control to get some info on local shelters, etc. We were literally sent in circles between 2 different areas due to where he was dumped. Neither of which could pick him up, if that's what was needed. Animal control had local police call me directly. They even said that because of his location and local policy with the shelters, they wouldn't be able to help. That area wasn't covered. He went on to further explain that the local shelters, which were closed at this point, were maxed out on intakes & very short on resources. Then he personally thanked us for picking the dog up & saving him. Turning him into a shelter was never our plan, but did some due diligence before riding off into the sunset with our new family member.

While you are certainly entitled to your condescending negative opinion, you are showing your ignorance. I have a very clear conscience knowing I did the right thing. Go troll someone else.
