Because I've never had to do this before...just a question. Found a big Malamute (I think?) running around our neighborhood, just when I was taking the garbage out to the bins. He's very friendly but we live a block away from a super busy road and I didn't want him getting hit, or getting into my garbage. He came running when I whistled, and is very friendly. Had tags and a collar, so I got a name and number from that and left a message. I assume the owners are at work.
We're thinking of loading him in the car and taking him to a local vet to see if he's chipped at all. Does the vet charge us to do that, does anyone know? Or would they charge that to the owner? I don't mind if he waits in my backyard until his owner is able to get him, but I wondered if he was chipped, if the vet would give me his information and I could just return him home and save the owner's the hassle.
He's just gorgeous. And huge!
Very well behaved/trained. Quiet, friendly, and doesn't jump up at all, which is good because he'd bowl me right over - if he stood on his hind legs, he'd be taller than I am.
