People cruel to animals are cruel to people too. Dogs need training - like kids. They don't just automatically know what to do.

The thought is that if you pay to get your dog out, you're going to be more careful about not letting the dog loose.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes.

There can be additional fees if your dog is not licenced or needs other stuff to be fully legal in your city. In my city, if your dog has the licence tag on and gets lost, it can be returned to you with no fees if they can get the dog back without having to take it to the shelter. Once the dog is in the shelter, the fees depend on how long the dog is there. They want to get the dogs and cats home, but also need to get the costs back for feeding and caring for the dog until it is picked up.<br><b>References : </b><br> You usually do have to pay a fee to get your dog back.

We had no fence but when outside he was on a 25 foot chain. We were gone for a while and he and his chain made the great escape. He made it 4 homes away but they did not know he was our dog as he had never run loose. So they took him to the local pound. We went looking and calling around for him and found him at the pound we had to wait till the next day to get him. He cost us around $70 but, "I am laughing", I think they said he ate that much in dog biscuits. <smiling> I can remember them laughing at the appetite he had and how friendly he was.<br><b>References : </b><br> At least 20 years ago we had a red lab.

Some charge daily, some don't. In most cases though, it's to compensate for housing your dog, feeding it, any shots they may have given it, etc... Some shelters, as another poster said, will require a spay/neuter and a microchip to be done before releasing the dog, or they'll have done so before you pick the dog up, and will ask for compensation for that. Keep in mind that any stray dog they bring in, is treated the same (even if you've reported your dog missing), and will receive the same vet care, etc... as any other stray they bring in if they don't have any current information about the dog's vaccinations, spay/neuter, etc...<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes, it’s true.

Not to mention finding YOU by looking up the microchip. your dog didn't run away. YOU didn't properly contain your dog.<br><b>References : </b><br> of course you do – people don’t run around finding, catching, housing and feeding stray dogs for free, in free buildings, with free food, in their free time.

At least that's how it works in Australia, dunno how it works wherever you live, though. But you generally want to get them the hell out ASAP, otherwise you rack up a large fee, and the longer they're around other dogs the more chance of them contracting some form of illness (which is going to cost you even more.)<br><b>References : </b><br> Yeah, and I can’t remember the specifics but it’s like an additional $15-30 for every day that you do not come to claim it and they have to feed it; so it can spike from like $50 to 150-200 in a matter of days.
