How do you get a dog in New Mexico?

You take another dog for a walk. Ron was walking Henry a few weeks ago when another black lab came up to them. Ron noticed that she didn't have a collar or license and so he and Henry started to walk away. She followed them home. Ron took her to the vet to see if she had been microchiped; she hadn't. He then took her to the Los Lunas pound. Unfortunately, he found out that this is a kill pound; if she wasn't adopted in 4 days, she would be put to sleep. Ron couldn't handle that so he brought her home. He put up signs around the neighborhood and walked her up and down the streets asking if anyone recognized her. Several people thought they knew who she belonged to but when he went to those homes, their black lab dogs were with them. So 2 weeks later, we have a dog. Ron calls her "girl", I call her "your dog", and Emily calls her "Abby". We'll see what sticks!
