If a dog is found without an owner or identification, it may be taken to a local animal shelter or rescue. The dog will be evaluated for health and temperament, and attempts will be made to locate the owner. If the owner cannot be found, the dog may be put up for adoption or transferred to a rescue group. It is important to have your dog properly identified with tags, a collar, and a microchip to increase the chances of being reunited if they are lost or stray.
