Microchip/ Old Owner vs New Owner - Question

[kaycountrygal]

ok, I've read all the comments. You live in the country and no doubt get strays. I live in the country and have a great dog Annie that was a stray. I made no effort whatsoever to find the owner. She looked so bad that I just kept her; that was six years ago.

IMO you've done enough to try to find the owner by leaving a message. I personally would not do flyers or call vets. Now it's waiting time. Just treat her the way she deserves and hopefully noone will call.

You got to keep mind though that just cuz a dog is skinny doesnt mean its abused.
some dogs are just like that. a dog my mom had for example was a skinny dog but yet was healthy an always had access to food when ever she wanted since she wouldnt over eat. Kribys also on the skinny side. can feel his ribs an back bone when ever you pet him but hes always been that way. ive even tired fattening him up with different kinds of treats an etc.

if the dog eats like a horse an starts packing on the pounds though thats a different matter. id raise an eye brow at that too an keep the dog if i could.

Here in Spain you must go to the police and file a report with the microchip number, after three months if no one claims the animal, you can have the chip changed.
