Rescued a Pug

Aww I wonder who she belongs to? Maybe she's managed to get out of her house due to the storm? It's a good job you found her as she could have still been outside in awful weather. Well done for looking after her.

 

Aww, Woo, what a lovely, kind hearted, thing to do: lucky puggly!

She looks healthy and well: her poor owners must be frantic about her. Penny looks very interested in her 'visitor'

Hopefully, Puggly is microchipped?

 

Surely somebody has missed her by now,

 

Blimey, she was lucky you were up at that time, good thing about being a Owl

 

Quite likely ... but, I doubt they would think to look in an Owl's nest for her

 

By law she would have to have some identification, even if she isn't microchipped. Maybe she has one of those little cylinder-things on her collar rather than an engraved tag? Regardless, I hope you find her owners! All vets will have a microchip reader so it might be worth popping her to the nearest

 

Do they charge for that?

A "free" route might be to
a) contact the local Dog Warden
b) contact the local Police Station

Either (or both) may have had a report of a "lost" dog.

 

I would have thought Woo would have contacted all the appropriate authorities as soon as he had made the dog comfortable.
Then ring around local vets to see if they have a pug patient.

 

It's the law that you report a lost dog, I'm sure Woo has done that by now. If it was my dog I would be going out of my mind so I hope there is a happy reunion on the horizon.

 

I know And I'm sure Puggly's family have done so

I'm equally certain, Woo knows who to contact to report the finding of a stray to Clearly (and rightly at that time of day) his priority was to care for the dogs initial needs.

My comment was in response to a suggestion of taking a stray to a vets to have any potential micro chip read. That would not be my first port of call and I would only consider it after exploring the other two options I mentioned.

 

They shouldn't charge for just scanning for a microchip. If there's no chip then I'd go down the dog warden/police route and maybe leaflet-drop neighbouring streets.

 

If the pup is chipped then that's the easiest way of locating the owner, as Petlog etc will have name, address, phone number etc of the owner. That would be my first port of call if I found a stray dog or cat, it's also got the least bureaucracy
