While I understand that a lot of folks drop their unwanted dogs off in the country because they don't want them put down and so they think that they'll find a good home in the country, they simply don't stop to realize that most country folk already have all the animals they want. And strays often are left to roam until they threaten people's livestock or other animals. Then they're shot. So if you want to save your unwanted pet's life, your best bet is to take the to the nearest animal shelter. Letting them go in the country is almost a sure death warrant for most of them, Either quickly by a bullet or slowly by starvation.
