I came home from work to find a dog under our shed. I would have never known had I not gone near it to turn on the hose so I could water my pots outside. It has been about 3-4 days and it was due time.
First of all, our gate is locked. I have seen a white dog roaming around the streets for a while and she usually hangs around with our neighbor's dog behind us. They leave that poor dog outside in ALL kinds of weather. Part of their yard is exposed due to our other neighbor having taken her fence down and doesn't want to spend the money to have it replaced. Neither side does.
If I had to take a guess, our neighbor's dog got that dog pregnant and has now seeked refuge under OUR shed in a fenced in yard.
We just had our landscaping done and this is the very reason I don't like dogs. I have found places in the yard she has dug up to include a hole to get into our yard. I've called animal control to have them come remove her and the puppies because I don't have the necessary training and equipment to get her out. I can't even see her.
My neighbor's are not the responsible type so I'm sure they didn't neuter their dog. Of course, I don't know this 100% Why do people get pets, put them outside in all kinds of weather, with no shelter? They never take this dog inside. Why do people get pets and dump them?
Why don't we have higher regulations on who can own pets? I think it should be much more strict. It may find a home, but that home may not always be able to provide all the animals needs. These are homes that put pets on the very end of their list of needs.
Does anyone else feel this way?
