Oh no - i was driving down a busy road earlier this evening when I found a poor timid little dog wandering about - I managed to get her in the car and bring her home - she was completely on her own in a dangerous place. I phoned the dog warden who have just been round. She wasn't chipped and he wanted to take her to the dogs home 25 miles away. The problem was this - what if she belongs to somenone who can't get there to retrieve her and can't afford the £60-70 it costs to release them? They are kept for 7 days and then put up for adoption. But if they are not adopted - what then? I couldn't let her go = so now where does that leave me? I really do not want another dog and neither does myhusband. I have really landed myself now. She is a little Jack Rssell long-haired type - very yound and timid, but friendly. If anyone has lost her in the Southport area - please let me know. Thanks. Marie
Glad you were there to rescue her.
You could try putting her details in local vets surgerys, local shops etc.
I know I would find it difficult to hand her over to the dog warden not knowing what the future would hold for her.
If you really cannot keep her why not consider the Dog's Trust - they keep them as long as necessary to find them a home.
Good luck.

I cant see me letting her go anywhere until I find her owner - thats if the owner hasn't thrown her out!! I already sponsor a dog from the dogs' trust so it wouldn't seem right to send her there. I hope there is a happy Christmas ending!! Marie
Contacting local vets is a good idea. Sadly, was speaking to my vet recently and he commented that business was slow as in these economic times many owners were treating his services as discretionary/optional...so while it'd be nice to think there's an owner pining for your poor mutt, sadly it may not be the case.
Which end of Southport are you? I've got friends in Birkdale that I can get to ask around if you're at that end.
Go on, you know that within a day or two you won't want to let her go...
I am in Churchtown - but any help would be appreciated. I will go to the vets tomorrow and also put a little story in the local paper - fingers crossed. You are also probably right I will want her to stay - but for practical reasons - We are both still working - it may not be possible - x
