Re: Cop out


If you have a stray, say you find a stray dog on the roadside. Cant or dont know, to contact teh dog warden, police tell you to let it go as they dont 'do' strays either (some do, some dont, depends if they have the facilities), and you ring the RSPCA....

You will get precisely no where.

Yes, individual shelters may take them, but most dont, most will redirect you to the local pound which will more often than not be a 7 days and pts type outfit.

Sometimes RSPCA shelters ARE the local pound so yes they will do strays, although they also would prefer it if these came via the dog warden as they get paid then, which they more than likely DONT if they come from members of the public.

My point was, that the national advertising campaign, the leaflets the door knockers the street collectors all carry information that 'suggests' and definately doesnt deny, that the RSPCA take in strays and for the most part, they do not.
