Calling animal control is NOT an option. I like my neighbors and their dogs.
We live way out. Surrounded by woods. I do have a neighbor but he lives way, way back. He has two adult labs. Takes great care of them.
This morning I let my 3 GSD's out to pee. They started to run back up the deck afterwards....but went into alert mode. They started barking. I ran down the steps b/c I thought it was a possum. It was the two labs. I wasn't sure at first (it's not uncommon to get dropped off dogs sometimes) I called my dogs and made them come in. They instantly did. I was proud of them.
Then I went outside and the labs ran up to me. They are covered in some FOUL stuff. Maybe some sewage and mud. I dunno....it's nasty though. I put them in our small outside kennel pen that we have. Gave them some water .
I went over to neighbor's and he is not home. I have called the two #'s I have for him and no answer. They are not wearing their collars. I know they have family in WV...and sometimes go there to visit....but he usually always tells us....plus he boards his animals
At this point....I'm not sure what to do. I guess for the time being they will just stay in our pen.....but we did plan on traveling too. I don't know what we are going to do if he's not back by this afternoon. I am a little worried.
Any suggestions?
