This poor guy was given wrong<br \/>\ninformation by the County Chairman on how to fix the problem&#8230; perhaps if<br \/>\nthe man caught the dog and brought it to the shelter he would be better<br \/>\noff. The owner would have to show proof of rabies vaccination and pay<br \/>\nimpound fees.  $25 impound fee, $12 for a voucher if the dog does not<br \/>\nhave proof of current rabies vaccination. The prices are not much but it<br \/>\nis incontinent. If it is not sterilized (spay or neutered) it doubles<br \/>\non each impound&#8230; fees can rack up pretty fast $25, $50, $100 and so<br \/>\non. The sheriff\u2019s office is not going to handle owner involved cases,<br \/>\nif the dog was returned to the owner it was not a stray.
