Establishing Ownership - Street Rescued

Marko · 09-03-2010, 06:14 PM

I rescued Rocco off the streets. After a consider amount of effort to locate his family by posts and door to door, I am sad for Rocco and his family, but very happy as he brings tremendous joy to me.

Does anyone know how to establish ownership/responsibilty? I'm not sure why I feel this is necessary, but I feel that I should.

Thanks!

check with your local Animal Control about what is required. Generally, you have to have posted flyers, contacted AC, ad in the Lost/Found section.

Document that you tried to find the owner. Did you run an ad in the paper? Contact the local shelter to see if anyone reported a missing dog? Take him to the vet, establish a vet record, get a dog license.

After you have tried contacting his owner, get him microchipped. That will establish you as his legal owner.

i would put an ad in the local
paper and the city paper. tell the local
police you have the dog and AC.
i would also contact a few area Vets to let them
know i found the dog. place some lost and found
notices a the Vets office. post some signs throughout
the neighboorhood. contact the local shelters.

what are going to do if you come
in contact with the rightfull owners?
