Things that are frustrating

[draggonlaady]

include police departments which impound dogs, but do not have complete policies for disposal of impounded dogs. We currently have a dog in impound, which has been here twice as long as usual, because the city can't freaking decided what to do with it. They have a plan for 1: stray dogs which are claimed by owner (pay impound fee, boarding, buy a license, make sure it's vaccinated for rabies) 2: stray dogs which are not claimed by owner (send them to rescue or, if they were impounded for biting, euthanize). They do NOT have a plan for dogs impounded for running loose, owner shows up but cannot/does not pay the impound fee. *headdesk*

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.

My boss got called a heartless bitch once in a similar case. I beat her though, I made two people cry in one day!
