One night at Surrey Pound for Radar – now he is safe back home
Radar went missing Monday night. His person called the Surrey Pound as soon as they opened Tuesday morning (9:00). A dog had been brought in Monday night and matched Radar’s description. SALI was called because they did not have enough funds to pay the impound charges and they didn’t have a car. I drove down to the Surrey Pound (SPCA) to see if the dog was Radar. It was. We are so thankful he is ok.
Did you know that the first impound fee is $50 and goes up for second and third impound. If your dog is not licensed, you cannot get your dog back until you buy a license which triples because of the impound. Total cost to get Radar back home where he belongs $175.00. Is this an inducement for people to license their dogs? Is it working?
$175 is too much to ask from someone who is homeless or on welfare. How can you claim your beloved pet if you don’t have a car? SALI will be fundraising to give out city licenses for the dogs of the homeless. We are hoping that the City of Surrey will give SALI a reduced rate. I will let you know what the city decides.
