We have a neighbor's dog that has one chance left. I know who's it is, have taken it home a once, have shooed it another time. Its a nice dog (looks huskyish, very friendly), but when it gets out, it wants to herd the animals (goats, llamas, cow and horses) which is a big no-no as they REALLY dont like it and one of them is liable to get hurt.Stray dogs killing pets and stock?
If it's a known neighbor's pet and first time running loose, I'll give him a stern warning and require replacement of the lost animals.
If it's a stray, or repeated time running loose killing, that calls for shooting them (the dogs) on sight.
Next time, it goes back to the place they adopted it from (Lollypop Farm) with a "I have had this dog repeatedly harassing my livestock" complaint. They are good at working to make sure their animals are well taken care of after they are adopted, so I am sure that they have a procedure for people who don't control their animals. After that, it depends on how lucky the dog is and how kind my wife is feeling that day.
