Any news on your dog?

You really need to personally visit each place your dog could have been taken to, and look at all of the dogs. And visit that place at least every other day. They keep animals for only 2-4 days, depending on the facility and how full it is, before putting your dog up for adoption. And you will never even know it has been there and gone.

The person inprocessing your dog could get the dog's breed or coloring incorrect. And if the dog is growling because it is scared, they could get the sex wrong, too, if they are afraid to look closely. When our dog ran off and was taken to the local dog pound, they told us on the phone they did not have her. We went anyway. Lo and behold, our female golden retriever was there. She had been labelled as a male lab, believe it or not. The lady shrugged and said "it happens."

A note about those 'life saving' microchips. Some places don't have scanners to read them. Although most dog pounds do I think, I can name two vet clinics nearby that do not. Our dog has a microchip, but the dog was so distressed (growling) they were afraid of her and did not attempt to scan her. Nor did they seem to notice her license on her collar that had our contact information. So go to the dog pounds.
