2 dogs wandered into our garden yesterday. One is a greyhound, not in great condition and very nervous. The other is a staffie, very happy and friendly.we already have 3 dogs, 2 boxers and a rescue. I work part time also and have 4 kids and there is no way I can take on 2 more dogs.
I have contacted the police to report them as lost and also the local dog wardens and 2 local rescues. The local rescues have said they cannot take them as they are full. The warden will take them and hold them for 1 week to see if they are claimed. They say that they will then send them to a charity for adoption and will only PTS on vet's advice but the rescues have said not to give them to the warden as they will be put to sleep.
I can keep them until the Easter weekend but we are going on holidays then and there is no way we can take 5 dogs with us. Anyway I cannot keep them long term.
I will take them to the vet to see if they are chipped but has anyone any other ideas on where to go from here?
I am in Ireland if that is relevant.
