Be Wary of Trash Dog Owners

My dog has loved this park. I agree that most dogs and dog owners who come here are awesome; Thoughtful, and friendly. However a woman decided this park was a good park to ABANDON her dog last week and the whole event traumatized my puppy and I. The dog owner who abandoned her dog was about 5'10" was a brunette with shoulder length wavy hair that she kept pinned back. When I arrived she was on phone and her dog was playing with my 1 yr old Doberman/Pointer mix puppy. Her dog was a pit mix Next thing I know she's gone and it's dark and there's no other cars in lot but mine. I was too busy watching my dog that I didn't notice her leave. Anyway it was freezing and I couldn't just leave her, especially after the city told me they couldn't pick her up for up to 24 hours. I tried to take her home just for the night. I checked her for fleas and no worms and we happened to have an extra crate so we could put her up for the night. The next day the city mistakenly closed my case and I had to report her again. My dog and her did not really get along without tension so I brought her to vet to see if she was microchipped. She is. According to vet this dog is fixed, microchipped and goes by name of Alice and it's about 3 yrs old. We tried calling last listed owner but nothing. I brought her back to park to see if anyone recognized her or if anyone posted her pic. She attacked my dog while at park and would have attacked others were it not me holding her on leash. I had to drive her myself you Animal Care Services and relinquish her to the city. The whole thing traumatized my family, my dog, and definitely makes me think twice about bringing my baby back to McAllister.
