Pound Buddies calls for responsible pet ownership as they hit difficulties reuniting pets with owners [Video]

MUSKEGON, Mich. — Pound Buddies Animal Shelter in Muskegon is using social media to alert pet owners by name that their dogs are being cared for, and that they need to be picked up.

Executive Director Lana Carson told 13 ON YOUR SIDE that social media is increasingly being used a means of reuniting dogs with their owners due to the large volume of dogs arriving with no identification. 

“I think our highest month, we’ll have over 110, 115, 120 dogs come in, and three to five will have some sort of identification,” said Carson. “Properly identifying a dog when they’re coming in has been very frustrating and very challenging, so the nice thing is, with social media these days, it’s now another way of getting a photo out.”
