I would be absoultely livid if it had been my dog!

Me too!

How lucky was she....so glad she got him back, he looks a sweetheart, poor little man, being in lost and in kennels at his age.
Makes you wonder why there is no communication doesn't it.

So pleased they were re-united xx

This kind of thing seems to happen all to often; even when owners have reported the dog missing to the very place that then finds them/has the dog handed in!

Reporting your dog missing to them is no guarantee they will realise it's your dog if it comes in to them it seems. To anyone that is missing a dog my advice is to ring and call around as often as possible to check.

What makes me particularly sad is the dead dogs the council picks up to dispose of. They never check the collars or microchips in order to contact the owners that have lost them. So the owners never know, wether reported missing or not.

awful

i took in a little manchester terrier x once - the police mistaked the identity of what we tol them it was they told the poor owner that the only dog they had reported found was a yorkshire terrier,,,, no difference at all then...

I wouldn't have been a happy bunny either.
Thankfully, she has him back. I bet he got spoiled the night he came home! x

a happy ending thankfully.

He was SO lucky, it says the kennel had housed him for 11 days, they only need to keep them for 7 before being pts.

in scotland there seems to be a problem with this sort of thing,, they dont even scan dogs for micro chips,, I know as I had a dog go to stirling kennels and she was micro chipped,, but they didnt scan her,, just as well I was calling everywhere to find her otherwise she could have been PTS too, lucky we only lost her overnight but it could have been worse Had I not had a good knowlage of the kennels in the area
