thats sad that the dog was put to sleep, maybe i'm cold hearted but I cant say I feel sorry for the owner, she had plenty of time to go get her dog way before he would have been put to sleep an had the dog been wearing ID or been microchipped then they would have been contacted as soon as the dog got in the shelter.

barkley went missing before and the first thing i did was check the shelter the next day and sure enough he was there, a guy one street away from me picked him up and took him there.

if a pet is to go missing the first place anyone should check is all the shelters and rescues in their area, and leave a flyer with the shelters/rescues.
