I agree. She shouldn't be left tied up. I think I would phone the SPA as it seems neither the husband or wife are behaving responsibly towards their pet and the situation needs investigating.

How sad.

I would ask advice from the SPA. They might come and investigate. x

Oh no you can't tie her up that is too cruel! Either take responsibility for her or make sure she is being cared for - get advice from the SPA

We live in France, and our nearest neighbours (english) are currently embroiled in a very unpleasant divorce. Can't say too much as police, courts etc are involved.
They have a labrador puppy which turns up at our house nearly every day hungry and sad. She's also about the age to come on heat for the first time, and I certainly don't want all the dogs in the neighbourhood around here after her. We already have a dog of our own and a day foster dog.
I've spoken to the owner, who I've known personally for several years, and he prevaricates, now the wife has arrived back and I really don't want to speak to her. Husband has disappeared.
Any suggestions what I can do? I feel like threatening to take the puppy to the SPA - equivalent of Battersea dogs home etc. She cost them 1000€. Today I returned her to the house tied her up and left a message.
