well hopefully its microchipped. wont be in long if it is

Nice 1 Tilly, it would of been better off with someone who could look after it until the rightful owner could claim it!!! Not stuck in a prison!

And the fact that the rspca have got it is my fault because????
Ive not even seen it or know who had it so I have no idea
Why you would come to the conclusion that it had owt to do with me...

I apologise.

any update on this?

not sure what update you want? someone found a dog and briefly took responsibility for it and when boredom set in the dog then became an inmate in RSPCA death row.

german shepherd dogs are very intelligent and this dog would have probably found its way back home, but instead now awaits its fate on death row

I don't know what brought you to this conclusion about the dog to be honest.
I don't like the rspca at the best of times, but as far as i know. The dog was taken to cross lane center the next morning. The finder kept hold of him/her over night to save it going straight to the dog pound, which no dog should have to experience in my opinion. I have asked them on their facebook page if one was handed in but they haven't yet replied..

Now Maybe the dog was chipped and the owners located. But the staff at cross lane are a nice bunch of people and they would of informed the dog warden. They would of either of picked it up or he would of been taken there by one of the staff, and since he/she is not on the kennel list I expect the owner was found.

If someone finds a dog wandering the streets they are NOT allowed to just keep it. By law the dog warden has to be informed. Whether the finder chooses to care for it until it's owner has been found or a new home found then that can be discussed with with the dog warden.

The fact that GSD's are very intelligent is a stupid reason to let it wander around hoping it goes back home. god forbid if ever one of my gsd's got lost I hope someone would take him in and contact either the warden or rspca so he could be scanned and returned to me.

came to the conclusion as the RSPCA is known for having very little funding and problems of so many dogs and not enough space/ food etc. dogs are on death row - fact!

If it's a conclusion it is not necessarily a fact.

Several people on here have handed dogs in to the RSPCA, many have reclaimed their lost dogs from them and quite a few have given dogs from there loving homes (myself included, more than once over the years).

They may be short on space, but that isn't their fault, however I have NEVER seen an animal there going short of food.

The small rspca centers do have problems with funding. They also do their best to rehome the dogs they have there. The huge rspca H/Q however are one of the richest charities with over 19 million in the bank. yet the small centers have to pay the big wigs to use the rspca logo. They have to do all their own fundraising to care for the animals they have. the rspca organisation made a statement a couple of years ago that they would not be taking in any more stray cats and dogs. its all about prosecutions now with them, and trying to get people to leave them all their money in wills. the donations people make via direct debits etc dont go to caring for animals, it goes towards bringing private prosecutions and flash cars, big houses etc, so unless you make a donation to the actual local center, your money will go to their next xmas party. however the small rspca centres like cross lane are still taking in some strays.
also visit the council dog pound in birkenhead..thats where you can view death row dogs, fact.
