[quote=Anonymous]Bizarre because it's never happened before and I've never received a robocall except from telemarketers and political campaigns (and the pharmacy I guess), nor have I ever heard of such a thing, and as pp says it's pretty invasive and made me wonder how they put together a list of people who live near the person who lost the dog. I might well opt in for that kind of notice, but I find it strange that someone would decide to use such a service.

Confusing because I wasn't sure whether it was legit. There was a "press one to be removed from our list," so I wondered whether it was really just a clever telemarketing ploy to get lists of good numbers since people are getting wise that pressing "1" for a sales call just results in more calls.

By the way I do pay attention to lost dog notices. The nice thing about them is that I can keep an eye out for the dog and go back to the notice for the phone number if I ever were to find it. I have actually returned dogs in my neighborhood when they have come sniffing around. But since I hadn't seen the dog and was so perplexed I didn't write down the phone number or website. Even if I did I'm unlikely to keep it around for more than a day or so. I'd have no idea what to do if I did see the dog (a min-pin maybe?) I think neighborhood listservs or even DCUM is a better way to get the word out if you're missing a pet.[/quote]
