Copied from a Game Warden

Just a friendly reminder that c**n , deer, rabbit , season and squirrel season are open!!! There will be hounds showing up everywhere.. Owners will be happy to come get their dogs if you call them.. These dogs have homes..they are fed... They can look skinny after a couple days of running lost without food.. Yes, it can happen that fast.. Help them get home where they can be fed...

DO NOT REMOVE THEIR COLLARS! IT IS A FELONY!

That funny looking collar is a tracking collar.. Not a shock collar... This means someone is looking for them! This is what these dogs look forward to.. (no, you can not force a dog to hunt.. They do that because they want to). You are not saving a dog or rescuing one if you take one and try to rehome it.. You're stealing someone's dog. Which is also a felony. Some of these dogs will appear shy or timid... That's because you aren't their owner, not necessarily because the dog has been abused... Most of the time is from not being socialized with people. I know everyone has good intentions, but a little information to help everyone make the right decision might save some heartache for someone else.

PLEASE COPY & PASTE TO GET THE WORD OUT!!
