Cough up

By anbrown6 - 12/04/2009 17:55 - United States

Today, I found my dog, who had been missing for over a month, at the local pound. Clearly it was my dog, she responded to her name and cried when she saw me. However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. FML

FYL indeed....but you should have put those chips they put in dogs to track them down, then all they had to do is scan it and your info would pop out.....

That happened to us before with my cat. The guy who lived behind us kept calling the pound to come and take her, so we kept having to go and get her and pay for her.

That's not that surprising. When we first got our dog he only had a rabies tag on his collar. He kept getting out but we would catch him. Then one day we didn't even know he was gone until way after he left. A week later my mother and I go to the shelter and there he is. However when we went to check him out the lady said it would cost $50 to "bail him out". I personally found that phrase very funny. Anyway you should be happy you got your dog back.

At least you got her back! Next time... get a leash. Or a fence. Or a door.

I'm very disturbed by all the mean comments here. Dogs get out. It happens. Once I had just given mine a bath, thus she didn't have her collar/tags on, and she escaped out the door. I got her back quickly - she was just outside, but geez, I'm a poor college kid, I can't afford $250 to get her back, even though I love her more than anything.

Ugh, that sounds terribly annoying! But hey, at least you have her. You got lucky. What if you came to the pound only to find that your dog had been put down because no one had adopted her? Or what if some one else adopted her first? Even though you lost $250, try to think of how lucky you are. It could be MUCH worse.

See, now if you'd spent money to get the dog chipped, you could've avoided that.

that's generally how it works at all pounds.

My friend had gotten at $1200 dollar fine for "letting his dog run at large" since she was part pitbull. (She jumped the fence at his dad's house while he was out of town.) We had pictures of her and he had half of the bandana she wears around her neck around his wrist. Even though the bandana was clearly enough evidence the dog was his, he still had to pay $90 to get her back and go to court.
