If You Find a Stray...
This is an excellent article from The Whole Dog journal--five things you should do if you happen upon a stray dog. Click here for the full article!
I don’t know a single dog owner who hasn’t, at some point (or quite frequently), spent an inordinate amount of time trying to capture a stray or lost dog. I know I’ve caught more than my share in the small town, or its rural surroundings, where I’ve lived for the past five years. I’ve caught burr-covered, obviously lost hunting dogs; dogs whose injuries suggested they’d tumbled from the back of a truck; as well as some fluffy little lap-escapees who looked like they were just out for an adventure.
If the dog is wearing a collar and tags with current contact information for his owner, you’re in luck – and the rest of the information in this article isn’t relevant. But out of maybe 20 dogs I’ve scooped up in the past five years, exactly one was wearing a collar and current ID tag. It certainly seems like the people who keep collars and tags on their dogs at all times are also the ones who manage to keep them safely contained – but accidents can happen to any owner. Here’s what you should do with an unidentified dog.

Miss Maggie Moo is a real special kind of cat. She loves to go to HAWS Mobile events and walks around all the dogs on a leash like she owns the place. She is a very easy going kitty that hopes to find a forever home ASAP!
Roy is a great example of the pure bred dogs HAWS has every day. He is a 8yr old German Shorthair Pointer who would do best in an adult home because at this point in his life he doesn’t want to raise any children. Like many dogs of this breed, Roy would not do well with small critters like cats.
Train your Best Friend @ HAWS who offers classes for puppies through adults. HAWS dogs get a special discount but all dogs are welcome. Call 262-542-8851 ex 114 or email training@hawspets.org.
