We live a couple miles from the local animal shelter, there has been an increase lately of dogs dropped around here and right at the shelter but not to it.
We heard one morning a few months back a dog barking outside and scratching on the door. It was a small dirty pup that we put in a crate till daylight. I posted it on a local fb group to see if anybody claimed it. Somebody said that the animal control had caught the mother and 3 other pups by our property across the road a little ways from where we live. So wife took the pup to the shelter, thinking she was doing the right thing. The people at the shelter start questioning her and wanting her to sign papers that she was surrendering the dog and wanted her name and address and why she was surrendering and asking questions about it.
Wife told them she was just taking a stray and didn’t know anything about the dog. So they go round and round and wife told them it was not her dog and she did not want to have her name attached to it if it was to come up that the dog had been deemed abused or neglected, and that we didn’t want it around our dog in case it had fleas or mange or some disease.
Finally wife halfway signed their forms because finally they admitted that they had caught the other mates and mother to it.
Anyways we think that because of bleeding heart animal loving attitude of the people at the shelter that people have just been dropping dogs again like they used to years ago.
People in this area have been reporting roaming dogs to the shelter, but they seem to be unable to catch them.
The shelter folks are saying that there is up to 8 dogs in one group and that they are feral and impossible for them to catch. They are telling people who call to report the dogs that if they are causing problems to just shoot the dogs if they need to.
For a while now we have been seeing a large dog, around, that is so wild it almost behaves like a coyote. As soon as it knows it’s seen it takes off.
It’s gotten in peoples garbage cans and we’ve been afraid it would bother cattle.
Have never been able to get a shot at dog.
Sunday morning I saw it with our old mammoth Jenny and was the closest I’d ever been to it, I could have taken care of it then but didn’t have a gun at the time of course.
But I did get a closer look in the few seconds before it took off. It looks to me like an Anatolian Shepherd. This morning saw it way off in the distance in the cow field.
As wild as it is I don’t know if it’s a runaway, been mistreated or completely feral like the animal control says.
They say it’s feral and they can’t catch it.
I’m wondering if since it might be a Anatolian if it might be beneficial out with the cattle to maybe keep coyotes and buzzards away?
I used to have and raised some Pyrenees , but I knew them and knew they weren’t going to bother livestock.
