It has been one week since we brought the stray dog home and posted signs. We have received only two calls from our signs and neither one was looking for this dog. Both of those calls were in the first day or two. We have also driven through the area looking to see if anyone posted a sign that they lost her. No signs. No more calls.
Today we decided she is probably going to be ours. Forever. BUT, she has not been spayed. All along we kept saying that if no one calls for her we need to have her spayed right away. But how long do you wait for the original owner to surface?
My MIL called me yesterday to tell me that a woman who attends their church works with the Dumb Friends League and they host a clinic in the church parking lot once a month. TODAY happens to be the day. So, for $50 she will get all her shots and will get spayed. YAY!
Now, if for some reason the owner comes forward they owe me $50. Just kidding! I was hesitant to spend a lot of money on her in case the owner still surfaces. I don't know if we did the right or wrong thing, but for $50 it seemed like a good time. If, the owner surfaces now I hope they aren't mad that we spayed her!

I would've done the same thing too!! For sure. If no one has come forward by now, most likely they never will. :)
I hope she is yours forever....
Thanks for passing along the info to me!
Yay for the permanent, new addition to your family!!
do you know if there is a way to find other things like that, elsewhere? our poor paisley needs to be spayed. We missed the boat and she's wrapping up Heat. (GROSS!!!!) but we are looking at almost $400 that we don't have, to do the deed...
I look at it like this, you've put up signs, you've gone looking for signs and still nothing. Anyone that was truly missing the dog would have stepped forward by now, so you have to do what you have to do!
