Abandoned dog..

My friend got up yesterday morning to find a dog tied to her back door. We live in a village-and nobody has ever seen her before. She isn't chipped. She's youngish, healthy, seemingly well looked after, well trained and friendly. Friend will give her a home-despite the dramatic sulks of the resident spaniel-but is there anything else she should do? Police and local vets obviously shrugging!

Inform the dog warden (number on council website). Dog can be legally rehomed if unclaimed after 7 days - unlikely to be claimed if it was actively abandoned.

Thank you- yes, she's done that. It's such a bizarre thing to have happened!
