Found Border collie in Houston Texas
How do I find the owner? We live in the richmond gessner area. The dog has
been trained well. She sits, stays, shakes, fetches, catches frisbees and herds my border terrier into the kitchen for no apparent reason. This is definitly someones pet and we are trying to return it to the rightful owner. We already took her to the vet to see if she was chipped and it was no dice. We are making flyers at home and are trying to decide rather or not to put a picture on it so someone just does not claim it to have a free dog ( she's gorgeous) Any advice you could give on finding the owner would be great. Thanks for your time and effort as it is much appreciated. Mick |

Put an ad in the paper, vaguely say what kind of dog it is, without giving
away too much information. I found a dog one time, my ad read "Found: Pit Bull. Identify dog, pay for ad". Withing 24 hours the owner showed up. (a friend of theirs had seen the ad, and passed it on to the owners) Or find a rescue service that specializes in that breed. Houston is such a HUGE place. Good luck.

Thanks for your time and effort as it is much appreciated. Mick Let's see: Post flyers in the neighborhood where the dog was found, as well as at any vet's offices and groomers that are nearby. Don't put up pictures in the flyers, but show it to the people who work at these places just in case they recognize the dog. Most newspapers will put up free 'Lost & Found' ads. Leave out crucial details so that anyone who calls will have to identify this dog. Call animal control and file a 'Found dog' report. Some may require that you turn the dog into their control, and you can do that if you have no plans for keeping this dog or finding it a home. If you do not want to relinquish control over this dog, ask them if there is any way you can keep it for the requisite number of days and then obtain a license for it. Or, you can turn the dog over to them, and give them your contact information so that you will be called if no one comes to claim the dog. Good luck, Suja |
