I find myself thinking back to all the found dog posts I've seen. When people say, "I've found a dog and trying to find a new home for it because I can't keep and don't want to take it to the Shelter." I want to scream at them because it is obvious that they aren't trying to find the owner. So, if you aren't going to make a real effort to find the owner, take the dog to the Shelter because there is the logical place for people to search for their dog. If you are concerned you are putting the dog at risk, remember they keep strays at least 3 business days, and you can keep watch and snatch it back if it gets in danger!
