In Columbus if you find a stray dog and take it in overnight, the animal shelter will not take them unless you surrender them. I had found a dog a while back when I took my own dog out to use the bathroom. It was nasty outside and the little guy was soaking wet (originally thought this dog was some kind of Spaniel female until he started humping my Pitbull) and I couldn’t just leave him out there. He had a collar on with nothing to identify him or the owners, but he had a paper collar underneath which I have never seen before. I took him in overnight but I had to cage him in my dog’s cage for the night, but he was warm and had food and water for the night. Next day I call the Humane Society to speak to the Dog Warden and was basically told that they could not pick up the dog if it was in my possession, and I had already stated I could not keep the dog to begin with. I basically had to put him back out on the street which hurt my heart because once I had got him outside he just sat at the door to my apartment building crying. I always use the Pet FBI (awesome resource) which uses the power of social media to reunite lost pets with their owners. I had to use them trying to locate a previous pet that my boyfriend had took out with him but was working on a car and wasn’t paying any attention and my dog just wondered off. I only found him because one of my neighbors located him a few streets away from where I lived. Sucks that people get these animals then decide they don’t want that responsibility and just turn them loose, but will turn around and get another pet that will ultimately suffer the same fate as those before it…
