Another Dog and Owners

Pulling out of my driveway this morning and see a small Bassett Hound possibly Corgi mix ambling down my street.

Pull over and she comes running over and tries to jump in my car.

We had heavy rains overnight and she's covered in mud so no dice on that.

Looks like she squeezed under a fence to get out. Don't recognize her but she has two collars on. One looks to be a bark arrestor or for an invisible fence, cant tell. But of course no tags.

Neighbor across the street gets home from dropping her boys at school. She's got a big GSD so she can't take her in. I'd have left her in my yard but she would have just squeezed under the fence again so we get some blankets and line my back seat and it's off to the shelter.

Get to the shelter and they ask where did I find her. Apparently out of their jurisdiction so they tell me to have a nice day. Ask them to check for a chip and bingo, dog has one. But it's not registered so still no idea on the owner.

Stop by my vet on the odd chance they recognize her. No luck there.

So I brought her to work with me. Hopefully by the time I get home someone has put up signs or has started calling the shelters looking for her.

So my rant, put a tag with the name, your contact info and any medical needs on your dog and if you go thru the trouble of chipping it then at least register the damn chip.
