Okay here is the whole story, forgive me if its a little confusing but I am trying to figure out what to do.
On Saturday I was working when a girl I worked with got a phone call from her ex boyfriend saying that he left her dog in the parking lot and he doesn't want anything to do with it. My coworked was very upset because she was currently staying with her new boyfriend and couldn't take the dog with her, so she was going to take her to the pound. I told her she should take it to the humane society which is a no kill shelter down here. For some reason she did not want to take it to either the spca or humane society. I offered to take the dog home with me for a few days until she could find her own place to live. I have tried calling the girl a few times with questions about the dog and have not gotten any calls back.
My husband and I have decided we would like to keep the dog permantly and pay for her to get caught up on shots, registered and spayed - I am a firm believer in having dogs fixed. Again I tried calling my coworker and have not gotten a call back. I sent her a text message explaining what we wanted to do and she is not sure whether or not we should keep her and she said she would call me when she left the mall. I have tried calling her a few more times and have not gotten an answer or a call back.
My question is I know my husband and I can give this dog a good home and I am concerned about giving the dog back to my coworker for a few reasons. She never registered the dog or got a licence for it, she does not have a permanent place to live, she never got the dog fixed, had the dog in a spike coller (where if you pull on the coller a spike literally goes in the dogs neck) and has no paper work for her.
Anyway I am wondering if this would be considered an abonded dog and would we be able to adopt her or does this dog still belong to my coworker and could she legally take her dog back.
