I'm trying to figure this post out... Why would someone rather a lost dog end up in a rescue as opposed to being reunited with their owner when they find him @ the pound? The fb post didn't mention abuse or neglect to the animal. Did I miss something??
My little bulldog made a sneaky escape through the front door a couple weeks ago and we searched everywhere frantically for him. I soon after called the pound and they gave me the phone # to a person down the road who took him in and waited for us to call in as Diesel didn't have his collar/tags on him (yes, he is micro-chipped).
I don't understand the mindset of a rescue taking him over his loving owners unless it's just a better temporary environment than the pound until the rightful owner can come get him. Am I missing something? This isn't an attacking statement on the original poster, I am just curious and maybe don't understand the process. I would rather my dog end up in a rescue UNTIL I PICK HIM UP instead of the pound where they may euthanize if that's everyone's worry. But if my sneaky escape artist wound up in a rescue and someone else took him home, I'd be heart broken and furious.
