DBF & I found a dog!

I took a chance and called animal control - it turns out that vet was misinformed - maybe his prior owner lived in Bristol, but his current owner lives in the next complex over and is frantically looking for him. They came and took him, and she'll pick him up later.

I also told the animal control agent all about the horrible experience I had with the Vet. She was appalled.

I think you should report that vet to the veterinary board.

I think so too.

It was the VET who told me he thought the dog didn't have a home anymore and was abandoned.

He was very very cold and unfeeling about it too. What a *********!

[just me]

I think you should report that vet to the veterinary board.

I totally agree What a very unprofessional and rude person.
If he can be that way to a person, can you imagine how he can be with peoples pets. Especially when they arent around???
I say report him now...
Also the Better Buisness Bureau, Very unprofessional.
Keep us posted.

I called the veterinary licensing board but the supervisor was out. I plan to call back later.

The guy's name was Dr Calaceto - he's based out of Bristol, CT.

I'll be steering way clear of him and his "practice"

Edited to add: Aha. digging up some dirt on this wanker. Apparently he's been sued for negligence before, in dealing with Horses. And he's running one of those "Discount spay/neuter" clinics. Figures.

Some day, maybe people will learn - when you cross me, I come back to haunt you.

I'm glad you found the owner. But deep down inside, I wished Fenway was getting a baby brother.

P.S. That vet stinks! You're a good person to save this dog, find it's owner and report that stupid vet. You get the "Good Dooby Award" for the day.
