Yeah; I think Bossdoc's big fear is that he'll have a screaming mob on his door or someone ranting in the newspaper about how the clinic is staffed/run by heartless monsters who steal dogs and give them away. I'm a bit thicker skinned than he is (really, he's NOT cut out for Animal Control work. Might be thick skinned enough to work for a rescue... but not the law ;) )

Like I said, if it was my call, I'd pass the dog on to rescue same as any unclaimed dog. But... still waiting for the police station to pull their heads up and make a decision.
