Ok here's the story, A few months back a dog was dropped off on the road and we took it in. Now it was evident that this dog had the mange or something going on. So after a while it starts going away on it, and it then comes back some and now the dog is pregnent. It looks kind of like a rockwellier (not spelled right i know) and the daddy of the pups is a little short basset hound (kind of dogs that are short and have really long droppy ears) Anyways we been feeding it and taking care of it and its been pregnent for a while now. And about 2 days ago it went missing and we can't find it. So i look everywhere , the neighbors, woods, etc. Then i finally call the animal shelter to see if someone took it in. Sure enough some idiot took it in, argh It had a freaking flea coller for crying out loud. Anyways i go down there and when i get there "i called earlier about the rockweller that may have had a case of the mange." "ah yes, i'm sorry but we had to put it down." After he said that i literally Hit the roof, i got so pissed. I finally calmed down and i said "you did know it was pregnent right?" "yes but there was nothing we could do for the puppies" WTF!??!?!??! ARGH!!!!!!!!! So you couldn't have let them be born....yea thats really nothing you could do for them you just HAD to put a dog to sleep that was pregnent. So i'm really really mad wish there was something i could do, i swear i hate stupid people that pick up dogs that are out walking, this is like the 4th time someone has took one of my dogs off even if they have flea/tick collars on them or something. Also like wtf? you can cure the mange you know. I'm thinking bout talking to a animal cruelty thing or something.
dog found, not so happy a ending anymore.

You might want to look into laws in your state. I know here in Ohio public animal shelters are required to keep an animal for a certain number of days before euthanizing it. I dont recall exactly how many, but I think its in the range of 7 days. I'll see if I cant find anything about it
Hmm..its appears that in ohio it may only apply to liscensed dogs:

Also, while county dog wardens only need to keep an unlicensed dogs for a few days before deciding on whether it?s adoptable, BY OHIO LAW, A COUNTY DOG WARDEN MUST KEEP A DOG WITH A CURRENT LICENSE FOR 14 DAYS BEFORE DETERMINING THE FUTURE OF THAT DOG.

it had a flea coller on it, and it was not "skinny" and un cared for looking so yea he/she was an idiot. and its been here for months so all the neighbors have seen it before.
Most places have leash laws so it sounds like you are atleast 50% at fault in this one. I have never had any of my dogs pick up before but then mine are fenced when outside.
umm i live in TN, lots of farms/ country side around, guarntee you no one out here is gonna have their dog on a leash unless they live in the City part. like me i live out in the boonies with woods/etc and open fields.

well i wouldnt want a rot running loose in my area.
and if you are so concerned about the dog WHY THE HE** DIDNT YOU KEEP IT ON A LEASH?
it is your fault yeah i am sorry it was put down when it had a family. But you can look in the mirror and cal yourself the idiot not the guy that took it to the shelter. dumb*ss.

read my above post please, it'd be inhumane to keep a dog on a leash for pete's sake, no one around here does i mean what the hell? i don't live in a city or anywhere. and it wasn't a full blooded rot, it just had the color of one but it was shorter and non mean looking and had floppy ears.
are you not hearing me? i live out in a farm country! dogs run free here! thats how its been since my great great grand pappy, hell 99% of the people that have dogs/cats/animals let them run free out in their yards, etc. Now if it was a mean dog like a pit bull or something yes i'd keep it fenced up. Also we have some cow herding dogs. should i have them fenced up? uh no that'd be kinda dumb.

I live in a farm area myself. Everyone out here has there dogs in fenced in yards. Why? Because they don?t want them hit by cars or something stupid happen like you let happen to the dog you had.
Either way now you are paying for the consequences for not taking some reasonability in keeping the animal. Since you didn?t have the dog from a pup and train it there is no reason NOT to have it tied up or in a fenced in area.

*sigh* ok ok, lemme explain opennnnnnnnnnnnnnn fieldssssssssssssssssssss not roads galore. Its more like a ranch then a farm, horses, chickens, cows, etc. Dogs run around here, thats just how it is.
excatly lucky, we only have fences for the horses/cows etc. and those all the dogs we have (six) just run under them. Also about the guy who suggest the name tag, tell me how can i get one of those on the flea collers? i tried but i can't get it to stay on. its like a blue collar/ some are red and they just have a black buckle thing. no loops or nothing for tags.
yeah our family owns a cattle ranch in NM, dogs runs all over the place. Dont have to worry about cars or animal control people because there arent any around.
In any case, a collar can be bought at grocery store/walmart for like 2 bucks.
I have lost a dog that looked like a rot in much the same way as you. It showed up in our yard one summer when it was 100+ degrees out, and did not leave. The dog was very sweet and playful and very much wanted to please you so she would do almost anything you told her to. Since she had showed up in our yard we had no idea if she had been fixed or not, so the vet told us to watch for her to go into heat, and if she did bring her back and he would fix her. Well sure enough she went into heat, and we had her fixed, but while this was going on, there were so several neighborhood dogs who were continually getting out and tearing down our fence, and I was having to repair it almost daily. The local dog catcher new the storey behind the dog, and the reason she kept getting out because of the other dogs. Though he would drive past our house 5 or 6 times a day just looking for her to be out of the yard, several times he brought her back into the yard, but yet he never did anything about the other male dogs that were tearing down our fence, one of which belonged to a cop that lived around the corner, and yes he did see the other dogs our on several occasions but totally ignored them. One day she got out, and had only been out for a matter of a couple of minutes before I realized she was out, though during this time she had gone around the corner and the cop saw her out and instantly notified the dog catcher. When the dog catcher got there, they through the dog into the back of the truck, and she growled at them because she was in pain, because she still had her stitches in, as it was only a matter of a week and a half or so after she had the surgery. So the cop decided that she was a viscious dog, and told the dog catcher he was filing a report on her, which he never did. The whole time that was happening I was out looking for the dog, and calling her name, trying my best to find her, and I am sure that both the cop and the dog catcher were able to here me. After a few minutes more the dog catcher showed up at my house telling what had happened and that he had to take the dog because the cop had filed the report, which ne never did, and the fee to get her back out of the pound was going to be over $200, which we did not have the extra money to pay for it. The whole time the dog catcher was on the rude side, and had nothing better to do them drive around my house 5 or 6 times a day just watching for my dog to get out. I had the dog for maybe 4 months, but in that time I had grown very fond of her, as she was always very playful, and loved to wrestly, play tug of war, which she really got into, and just run around at your side, no leash neccesary because she wouldn't leave your side. Yes, you can legally have a dog out without a leash if she is under your control and follows your commands, which she always did. This was several years ago, though I still hate the dog catcher, and yes he is still employed by the city.
Yes, I agree with you on the fact that people who live on farms or ranches never bother to keep there dogs fenced in, some of the reasons being, to keep the coyotes away from the livestock, and to keep people away that shouldn't be there. Most of the time these kind of dogs don't leave the vacinity of the house or barn, for the most part, unless they are going somewhere with someone on the farm. That is the way it is with all the farms and ranches around here, as I have several friends who live out on them. I am in the Texas Panhandle for anyone who maybe wondering. I completely agree that what happened to your dog was totally uncalled for, and I would deffinately look into the laws on it, and it you really want to have some fun, give PITA a call, and tell them that the dog was allowed to run around totally free without fences and whatnot and tell them your story as I am sure they would give your local county pound a nice bit of trouble about it. No, I am not an advocate of the PETA in anyway or form, and personally think they are very dumb, but it could be a good laugh to give them a call.

yea this dog was playful, she'd stay on the back porch and somehow as soon as you peeked outside the door she could like sense you and she's just look at you and tilt her head and waddle her tail against the porch. and where ever i went she'd just follow by my side.
get another collar, not just the flea coller. The real collar will be made of webbing or leather or something, and it will have a place to attach the tag. Dogs can wear both that kind of collar and a flea collar at the same time.
edit: sorry you lost your dog
bastards shouldn't have put her down.If you don't want people to pick up your mangey dog, put a collar with your name and phone # on it on the dog. What's he supposed to do with a damn flea collar, take the dog back to petco and see if they know who bought the flea collar?
First of all, FLEA collars are not healthy - you are putting a ring of chemicals around your animals neck. You should use one spot or tea tree oil dabbed on the back of its neck or backside. You should have had a real collar with a pet tag. Both can be easily purchased online (if you live in the middle of nowhere and cant get to a store).
Second, why did you not tell the animal shelter that you were coming to get the dog when you were already on the phone with them? A shelter will hold a dog if it had been claimed.
