    Background - I moved to a rural area a few years ago and I am appalled at the attitude of some people here when it comes to pets. I can't say any more or I may be banned. Several times since we moved here we have come across

    animals who just appear at our door or over at the nearby playground. Mostly it has been cats. The 2 dogs were easier to place with homes. We had a full house up until February so we usually found

    homes or worked with a no-shelter. No judgement but people need to realize it's cruel to dump animals like this. There was a stray Beagle who appeared in a

    sparcely populated area (30 or more acres between houses). The person who fed her for almost a month (but didn't take her in much and she ran off a few times) posted her to social

    media and contacted everyone within 5 miles and nobody claimed her. We saw the post a while ago and kept our eye on it. They couldn't keep her (the dog was in heat and didn't want

    vet and had a full check up, including an ultrasound. She was very underweight, her nails were ground down from gravel and the road. She was covered in ticks and had worms and

    She is getting spayed soon. My question feels really silly but I have done my own image search, social media search and between me and the person who fed her we checked the store

    Update: she is doing really well! Nobody has posted looking for her. She was spayed and has gotten well and it was revealed that she is not even a year old. She is still very loving and clingy but she has
