While I was walking one of my dogs today, two strays joined us and followed us home. Actually, I encouraged them to do so, since they were running in the road and I didn't want them to get hit by a car. We live on a narrow, winding country road.
I knocked on so many doors, hung up signs on telephone poles, put a notice up at the market, called the vet's office in town, asked the mailman, and now I can't think what to do next.
I can't keep them b/c I already have three dogs and two cats, and my husband will go crazy over more pets.
I notified the shelter in case anyone reports missing dogs, but so far no one has called. They asked if I could keep them overnight and they'd pick them up tomorrow if no one calls me. This just breaks my heart. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Anything else I can do to try and find their owner?
They are nice dogs, very well behaved, but not well -groomed. One has tons of ticks and I've tried to pull them all out. They both have significant ear infections, but are very affectionate and friendly. One is a small black lab and the other is maybe a border collie, but I'm not sure.
If you have any ideas that I haven't thought of, I'd appreciate your help. Thanks so much!
