Dog found in a very poor state


Recommended Posts

Hi there.

 

My mate has had his neighbours dog turn up at his house eating all the cat food, he recognised this dog as the young gypsys kids dog from over the road as he used to go out lamping with him abit, he said that the dog was in a right state lost loads of weight an that he ain going to give it back to them so if any one wants it they can have it, i have seen the dog and its a saluki x not a bad worker but needs some work its 2 years old and male his names tiger, if no one is intersted then he is going to phone the dog warden as its not right for the dog to be kept like this

 

thanks

To know who the dog belongs to and then give it to someone else could be classed as theft?

Pehaps the dog has a medical condition they are currently treating....you never know.

If in doubt hand it in to the local dog shelter, at least then the owners will have a chance to get it back if they really want to. If they dont, it will get sorted and hopefully rehomed to someone who does give a shit ;)

Even better go see them and tell them what you are doing and why?

Not sure your mate can just do that... it's not his dog. He can't just take it upon himself to give it to someone else. If he phones the dog warden for your area and reports it as a stray, they will either just give it back to the owner with a warning to look after it better (if that - they often have to return dogs to people they would rather not), or if the owner doesn't claim it, it'll end up in a pound with all the risks that entails.

 

He can report it to one of the welfare organisations but they won't be much help either I doubt, even if your mate wanted to get involved with them. Which, again, I doubt

 

Your mate could offer to buy the dog off the owner and rehome it that way. But legally he can't just take it and move it on.

 

It's a sad and tough world for some dogs.

The dog is defiently not wanted,he has been trying to give it away for a while now (the lads only 14 and has lost interest in the dog) yea he knows he cant by law but he loves his animals and would rather do this than have the dog treated like that, the young lad has no respect for the dog at all

If you know the owner, why not just ask him if you can have the dog to rehome it ? Just taking it isn't the answer, could open a huge can of worms !!

 

Cheers.

 

Im trying to find out what he decided to do in the end, i didnt really explain it great in my first post, the dog lives out side in a large vet travel kennel type this so its not huge, and on a lead tied to a breeze block s it cant run away, at first the kid loved it took it any were now hes got bored and fed up of it and been wanting to get rid for a while yet he cant treat a dog like this its not fair

I know its not right to just take the dog, but sounds like this lad will be glad its of his hands, as he has lost interest. I think if you can find someone who wants the dog, then tough luck, the lad should of looked after it better.

 

exactly mate thats th logic behind it anyway
