They found your beloved dog and provided a service. Be happy to have your dog.. Pay... And shut up!

OP here. They actually didn't find my dog. They said he was brought in (perhaps by the parents if some kids stole my dog!).

Fine. They still posted the pic or notification about your dog being found. That is a service. You sound like a spoiled brat. I also do not understand your reaction and the only sympathy I have is for your dog.

They actually didn't have him under "found". He was listed under their adoptable pets.

Your response is completely juvenile; feel free not to return to this thread.

And you still are too stupid to get that they provided a service? You don't think that by taking in your dog in general was not s service? They took in your dog to help an animal. Damn you are a nasty bitch OP. Karma sucks... Get ready!

It's official. I'm talking with an adolescent. Have a nice day. You called me a "nasty bitch", yet somehow I'm the nasty bitch?

I do feel sorry for your dog. Are you too cheap to feed it or take it to the vet when it's sick? Yeah I'm sure you are a wonderful person when you *cool* off.

You have a legitimate gripe over their semantics.
You may even have a legitimate gripe over their overpopulation rule that gives you only a few days to fork over the filthy lucre.

But the fact is, they exist and were there to shelter your pet when it could have wandered off and be run over.
In that spirit, consider it a donation to a worthy but needy cause.

OP here. Thank you for taking the time to make a useful post that offers both empathy and a bit of chastisement (which I have no problem with when delivered in a way that is not rude and doesn't involve calling me a nasty bitch).

I agree that I will have to consider it a donation...I have little choice in the matter. But this definitely colors my perception of animal shelters. Contrary to what I'd previously believed, they are not in the business of saving animals and finding them homes.....not if it comes in the way of them making money. I just can't fathom the idea of a shelter choosing to KILL a dog rather than return it to its rightful owner. Nothing that anyone can say can really change my mind on this front. It's really reprehensible. Luckily I can afford this expense, but what about loving dog owners who don't have $200 within the few days they give you to recover? It's really a terrible, terrible policy.

Yes OP you are a nasty bitch! I am not an adolescent but an adult who is disgusted and shocked that someone would insult the work that animal shelters and the selfless people who work there do on a daily basis and the horrible things they see. I hope you come to your senses and realize what a terrible thing you have said. I would be ashamed.

Do you feel good taking pot shots, via the Internet? Where is there ANY mention made about being too cheap to pay for food or vet visits. Where? Anywhere? Anywhere?...............

I guess your dog was saleable - or maybe the shelter workers just came and took him out of your yard and will pocket the $200???

I am not sure what a pot shot is, if you meant cheap shot, its pretty easy to come to the conclusion that if you are too cheap to want pick your pet (to some people this is a family member) up from the shelter then I can easily assume you are way cheaper with other things for your poor dog. You opened the can of worms; deal with it.

Your dog will not be returned to you to tie it to a tree with a chain until it chews through its own neck to escape again.

I would never be ashamed because I would never say such a rude insulting comment like you did. Learn some humility and when you are wrong.

OP here. So this is how they make their money....bleeding grieving owners of stolen/lost pets dry? That's just not right.

Get the hell off your cheap ass horse and pay it. They

I'm not being cheap, but I think it's absurd that they're charging me the same amount as a pet adoption. What about the pet owners that don't have $200 to spare within the limited timeframe they give you to recover? Is it honestly fair that they would rather kill your dog? I find nothing "wonderful" about an agency that values money over the wellbeing of animals.

Grieving owner and you screaming about paying to get your dog home? You aren't grieving or you wouldn't even give cursory consideration about letting your "beloved" dog stay a moment longer than necessary.

pot·shot also pot shot (p t sh t ). n. 1. A random or easy shot. 2. A criticism made without careful thought and aimed at a handy target for attack: ...

I never said I was too cheap to pay; just outraged about the policy. Did you bother to read this entire thread?

Grieving excludes also being angry?...Interesting. As I said before, I know my dog is safe...that alleviates a lot of anxiety and I choose to pick him up calmly vs. screaming like a banshee.

What "rude insulting comment" did I make?
