Today, I found my dog, who had been missing for over a month, at the local pound. Clearly it was my dog, she responded to her name and cried when she saw me. However, the woman there told me I could not simply take her, I had to follow through with all policies. I paid $250 to adopt my own dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex adopted a dog from the dog pound. It was the same dog he made me get rid of while we were still together. FML
Today, I got a puppy. I just found out I can't bring it on the family trip. To save me the trouble of finding a friend to take her in, my mum handed her back to the pound. FML
Today, I found the dog I lost while I was dog sitting. It was with its new adoptive family. FML
Today I adopted a dog. He ran away the same day. FML
Today, at the rescue group I volunteer at, we finally adopted out a dog that has been with us for a few years now. This was an amazing thing for us because we never thought he'd get adopted. As we were getting excited and hugging each other, the dog ran away. FML
Today, I adopted a dog from the local shelter. I put the dog in the car and he was shedding everywhere, but I was ok with that because he was my dog. As I pulled into the parking lot, the dog began to poop in the backseat of my car. When I got him out of the car, he ran off. $100 for him to poop and run away. FML
Today, I finally decided to get a dog. I have always been wanting to get one ever since I was a child. I bought a $1,400 Golden Retriever. I went out for lunch a few hours later with a friend, so I left my dog in the backyard. I came back home to a broken fence and no dog. FML
Today, after finally giving up on the search for my lost dog, I realized that my neighbors had found her and are convinced that she was a stray. They won't give her up and are now mad at me for trying to take my own dog back. FML
Today, I decided to adopt a 11 year-old dog that had been in need of a home for several months. Two hours after I got him home, I discovered him dead in the backyard. FML
Today, I brought back the puppy I adopted for my family. I spent months doing all the research on puppy care with two young children, and at least five hundred dollars for the dog, the supplies, toys… the whole lot. Turns out everyone's allergic to her. FML

FYL indeed....but you should have put those chips they put in dogs to track them down, then all they had to do is scan it and your info would pop out.....

That happened to us before with my cat. The guy who lived behind us kept calling the pound to come and take her, so we kept having to go and get her and pay for her.

Thats what you get for not registering your dog.

Why do YDL? Because obviously you hadn't left your dog's information with that shelter, which you ALWAYS DO IF YOU WANT YOUR ANIMAL BACK! When you call the shelter, you leave all your information, and then when they get your dog they give it back to you. Either way, just be glad you got her back, and next time make sure you're doing everything possible to get your pet back.

at my pound you don't have to pay to get an animal. there's a "suggested" donation, but no fee. then again, it's city-run.

Thats bullshit, you should take them to small claims court for the money you spent to get him out.

Personally, I wouldn't care. I would pay tons of money if I found my missing dog. Why was he missing in the first place? It's YDI if he wasn't chained up properly or he doesn't have a collar with your information.

Atleast you got your dog back, that's well worth $250?

register your dog then. you're lucky it was just $250. Its $500 in Maryland for not registering you're dog, another $500 for having a "dog at large" and additional money if its shots arent up to date.
