Hi I really hope what I am about to say will change the minds of anyone thinking of doing this.

As some of you may know I own a pet service business. We get all different kinds of dogs and we have brilliant time together.

However, this year in fact this last 6 weeks we have had four dogs arrive and the owners not collect them. Fair play two were at least honest with me and ask me to find them new homes which I done so but two were just dumped and the owners vanished. They paid me and disappered never to be heard from again. 

PLEASE STOP THINKING IT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR YOUR DOG OR THE BEST SOLUTION BECAUSE ITS NOT, IT'S THE WORST THING TO DO!!!! It's not fair on me or my family who they live with, its not fair on my customers who loose a place with us and it's really unfair on the dogs. We work legally and follow the legal route. If you don't want your dog, man up and up it up for adoption or hand it over to a shelter where it's going to end up regardless because we can't keep them if they are abandoned. It seems to be happening more and more, 3 of my regular customers actually found their dogs as puppies in a tied closed bin bag, its disgusting and unacceptable. So I now have a dog needing a home, if anyone wants one very friendly and good with other dogs.

A couple returning to the UK left their dog tied up in the car park at Murcia airport before boarding their plane!  I don't tend to be a violent person, but if I had caught them.......... let's just say they wouldn't have made their flight!! 🤬

There are places that will take dogs and even find foster homes (which often become permanent) so get off your arses and find them, or take your dog home with you, they are family!...

In situations like that the dog would be very quickly untied and police would've taken away because people would be able to see it but it's still wrong. Call a charity of the shelter can't do it. I appreciate the laws the Spain are backwards but morally you shouldn't give them to a boarders or Ke...

Absolutely agree, at least 'Soprana' (spelling?) are more active about this now.

A visit to the loca police station got quite a response, they followed me to the place this dog was being held.  Then Soprana were advised, the owner was told they would prosecute, suddenly the following night the dog disappeared!  Apparently the owner took it to a vet to have it put to...

A vet wouldn't put down a healthy dog just because the owner asked and with an owner like that they definitely wouldn't pay a vet to do it either. Police local suggested to go to another police local and say we found a dog. Put we couldn't say that it was abandoned, which is unfair all round

I am seeing the whole picture I think? I was just adding to what you said by saying a vet wouldn't put a dog down without reason so they must have done it themselves or left it somewhere?

Exactly, the police actually showed us the four inch file of his police record, he told us that some was criminal activity, and the rest was problems with cruelty to animals, but he is still allowed to keep a 'pet'!
