Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I'm in a mess. I went to work tonight and that was bad enough in the snow. I have 3 boxer dogs at home, I breed them (well will be doing) I'm a responsible dog owner and am registered with the kennel club etc. Anyhow when I got home from work I had no dogs. I was frantic, I NEVER let them out on their own and never without a lead. My back gate was wide open ( I always keep it locked ) and I don't know if someone was trying to break into my house or steal my dogs. As I was running round like a headless chicken and preparing to ring the police to report my dogs stolen, I got a phone call from a lady saying my dogs were in the pound. Someone had called the police because they were runnng about in the street near me. They came and caught the dogs and called the dog warden. I can apparently have them back after 9am in the morning but will have to pay a fine of approximately £78 per dog. If I don't pay I can't have them back. I fully understand that I can't have 3 boxer dogs running riot in the street but I didn't let them out. Is there anything I can do? I feel a bit hard done by especially as I have one that's deaf, she's going to be really confused. Thanks, sorry for the long post.
