[Closed] Just found two dogs - what to do?

Ring the RSPCA

Do they have collars and tags?

odd, I'd ring the RSPCA and let them check if they are chipped.

Collars yes, no tags obviously.

yeah, RSPCA can scan them for a micro-chip

EDIT:too slow

Yep, RSPCA.

And were they tied up when you found them or were they found after which point you tied them up?

We have a local dog whose owner lets him run wild in the military land behind the house. Does no harm to anyone and is very friendly. If we tied him up he could no longer go home and that would be worrying for his owner...

Crap on the floor in front of them and make them walk in it.

See how they like it.

i will take the bigger of the two

paypal ok?

They were running all over, for an hour or more. They aren't local, we've never seen them before. Mrs Grips just walked them all over the neigbourhood and no-one was out looking for a dog. So we tied them up outside our front door.

Photos, please.

Oh, and take them to the Dogs Trust/RSPCA etc.

Fair enough. RSPCA and a pat ono the back for you for being a dog lover and responsible human.

Don't think you should call the RSPCA, as that's Cruilty to Animals.

Try giving the local Vets a call and they should be able to put you in touch with the Dog Warden.

RSPCA is animal welfare, however they refer you to the local dog warden which is a council thing.

They are currently engaged.

Why do you want pics?

I'd ring the RSPCA and let them check if they are chipped.

If they are, they'll eat imported dog food.

Why do you want pics?

Keith Lard?

Why do you want pics?

Take them to the local Chinese takeaway in exchange for cash?(round the back obviously otherwise it would be bad for trade!)

Why do you want pics?

'Cos I like dogs! If they were uber-cute I might even persuade Mrs NickF that we need a few more.....

Stir fry for tea?

Called the council dog warden, they said someone had already reported them and they'd give them my number.. I thought that was odd since it's hardly the reporting person's responsibility.. then I realised that the OWNER had reported them as being lost.. so they are on their way.

get 'em fighting and run a book on here ?

bah, too late 🙁

Crap on the floor in front of them and make them walk in it.

Well that seems to be the attitude of lots of Mountain bikers in Bristol at the moment, the amount of human shit in Leigh Woods since the new trails have been built are horrendous, mind you it seems to be making people stop moaning at dog walkers for not picking up there dogs shit, as human shit is that much more vile........

Owner has come round for them. All resolved 🙂

They were cute btw, one was a red King Charles spaniel.

result 🙂

Good news, was going to suggest nipping them down to your local vets who would have scanned them to see if they had been chipped.

Well done on keeping them safe.

Hey highclimber, I would love to put you in the bag and would happy chuck you in the river.

A Cavalier or a King? Oh, and it's Ruby, not red! 🙂

I don't bloody know! I thought it was a bit small for a KCS but it looked a bit like one.. dunno dogs.

My hands now stink of dog though. They went a bit nuts when any other dog came by (we are near a walkers' route) and the mongrel jumped over the railing and hung on its back legs, then slipped out of its collar so I had to do some comforting and handling.

Apparently the Virgin Media guy came around to their house and left the door open whilst working, so the bolted. Our house is about ooh.. 5 mins walk away. They sound like troublesome dogs.

If they are, they'll eat imported dog food.

I lol'd

Call animal wardens (08452417253) what area are you in?
If they dont cover your area call the council.

I lol'd

I do wonder, sometimes.

(-:

It has always seemed weird to me that a dog would bolt at the first sign of an open door. Makes them sound like captives. I routinely try to set my dog free but he isn't having it, he always follows me home. Quite surprised how far he can navigate sometimes...

I was rather surprised that they didn't head back. Quite possibly not walked enough so they don't know their way home, or don't get enough exercise to be content.

Are they Jack Russells?

See what I did there....?

Loads of dog's run away this weekend as they don't much like fireworks, it's a busy time for dogcatcher's, Sometimes when people find dog's the just tie them up and leave them, they don bother to look for owners and just don't want to see them run over.

If they are, they'll eat imported dog food.

Ah well all turned out good in the end then. 🙂

Makes my joke about singing 'It's fun to stay at the RS-P-C-A' to them rather redundant now. 😐

Sigh...
