249. They did the best for the dog they could. Shelter would have held the dog for the legal 3-5 days,

then the dog can be passed legally to the Akita rescue. Akita rescue would then be the legal owner of the dog.

The dog and the owner now are in a much more perilous situation. I hope he has ID on his collar and the shelter he was at for a day micro chipped him (as they do for every animal at intake).

There's a high chance the 'roommate' will open the door and let the dog walk out. Or the property owner if its a rental will have the police evict because of the dog. Or the owner will be arrested for being on the street & any dogs are carted off to the pound. It will not go well for the dog in any of those situations.

Best thing the owner can do is sign him over to the Akita Rescue, breed experts that offered to take the dog. I read she refused to do that yesterday?

Perhaps after a day or two reflection she will come to her senses, sign the dog over to Akita Rescue. Before something happens where the dog has no options for a good placement at all.
