DFW: Found Dog - Dalmation I walk outside the house today, and there is a dalmation sitting in my driveway. The dog has no collar/tags, so I couldn't just call the owner. I then spent a good hour or so knocking on doors around the neighborhood trying to see if anyone knew who's dog it was... no luck. One of the neighbors (whom i dont know personally) volunteered to keep the dog in their back yard for now and feed it.
I called the police to see if anyone reported a lost dog, but they said they dont handle that, and i need to call the local humane societies. they were closed, so i'm gonna call them in the morning, and also going to see if the newspaper will put a 'found dog' classified in the paper, but i'm sure those media scumbags will want to charge me.
hopefully we can find the owner, but I can't expect the neighbor to keep it in their yard forever (especially since its gonna be cold at night). I also dont want to turn it in to the humane society, cuz i'm sure they'll only keep it for a short time before destroying it.
that being said... if too much time goes by, I'm hoping that a responsible person will be willing to take the dog under the condition that they are willing to surrender the dog should the owner be found.
the dog is a female dalmation, not sure about the age, but its really energetic, so i'm assuming its young.

I'll help you any way I can. (I have a dalmation that looks a lot like this one)
I would not want to see her put in a shelter or be destroyed.
I can keep her until the owner is found or find her a good home.

Shaner, I think i might have to take you up on that offer...
animal control is closed until tuesday, so i coudlnt ask them if anyone's reported a missing dog... the newspaper just sent me to voicemail, so i'm assuming they are closed until monday. i did get ahold of the humane society, they said no one has reported a missing dog, but sometimes people wait a few days before calling it in. they said if i send it to them, they put it on lost/found status for 4 days, then they put it up for adoption... they wouldnt give me a finite amount of time for how long they keep them on adoption status for.

so the owner finally saw one of the signs i posted all over the neighborhood and called me. to make the long story short, he doesnt want the dog anymore, so we're looking for a responsible person to take it.
she is at Shaner's house, so if you are interested, PM shaner for more info.
