Well, I did call the SPCA back and asked how he was, and if they had found out whether or not he had been chipped. I was told "I don't know - I wasn't here when they brought him in"...and then when I explained that we had decided we might want to adopt him, was very rudely told "You shoulda just kept him then!!" Ummmm...maybe, but we thought we were doing the right thing by having him picked up and checked to see if he actually belonged to someone! I know if he was mine and had gotten lost, I would HOPE that whoever found him would be willing to turn him into the SPCA so I could get him back.

I was then told that they had to "give the owners 5 days to claim him, then we have to evaluate him to see if he's adoptable, and then get him fixed, wormed, etc etc etc" all in a very annoyed tone of voice - as if me calling and having him picked up was such a nuisance! Never once did she say "Call back in x # of days and I can give you more info" or "That's great you would like to adopt him".... so we aren't sure WHAT'S going to happen next!
