...go after one of them and contact the owner on the dog's license?
I tried to run after one of them but it looked at me and just darted away and nearly got hit by a car (one woman tried to track it with her SUV to see if she could catch it and take it to the owner but she couldn't). It also ran to another side street out of my sight. The other two dogs were down the street from me and I couldn't get to them.
How would you deal with this situation? This has happened before to me where I actually caught the dog and called the owner on my cell (it turns out the kids accidentally left the gate open and the dog ran out).
Note to dog owners: SECURE YOUR DOGS! Thank you.

That's happened to me a lot too. A few I've been able to do the same, they'll come up to me and I was able to track down the owner through the rabies tag. But usually, they do the same and run away, usually into traffic. So, now I just try calling them over, if they won't come I'll call animal control.
Best bet would be to call animal control and let them catch them and contact the owner. Let them pay the fees/charges, that'll hopefully teach them to secure their dogs better.

I would call the local animal control. Unfortunately, things like the kids accidentally letting a dog out do happen (we keep a lock on our gate to prevent it tho). The owner might end up paying a fine as a result, but at least they'll still have their dog.
You probably shouldn't chase them down because you can't tell the temperment of a dog, nor do you know how it might react in this type of situation, even if it is a nice dog. Best to let a professional handle it I think.

super tale, it quite is stable to nicely known there are nevertheless human beings obtainable that don't see a dogs on the line as a shifting objective or user-friendly trash to circumvent. professional: A kin chum and her husband have been utilising down the line one wintry climate and observed a pile of fur in a snow burm. They stopped, have been given out, and found out it become a dogs and it become nevertheless alive. They heavily extracted it, gently located her interior the lower back seat, and rushed to the closest emergency vet they could discover. The vet instructed them she wasn't a dogs, she become a coyote, probable a physically powerful 6 years previous, and not worth saving. They stated funds isn't an argument and that they needed her saved. He reluctantly agreed, mumbling approximately vermin and such, and surgically repaired her badly broken legs. in the time of restoration he instructed them he did not think of she'd totally recuperate and actual would not walk. They took that coyote abode. They proceed to exist a huge wood acreage and set her up with a astonishing mattress on the lower back porch and a few dry kibble. She gimped around their lower back backyard and slept on the foot of their mattress for 10 years. She become unfastened to bypass away any time, yet never did. She ought to stroll, yet with a bad limp.

Trying to catch the dogs might be risky. If the dogs are scared they may become aggressive. I'd call your local animal contol, give a good discription of the dogs and there location. You could try to keep watch to see where they are to let the animal control officers handle it.

Try taking your car up to them saying "Lets go for a ride" and maybe they will come in your car. Try persuading them with treats also. Maybe they all came from the same house and just got loose together. But I would try to get them and do a good deed for the day and possibly save a poor pooch from getting hit by a car, I'm sure the owner will greatly appreciate it also. =] Best of luck to you and you're morning fiasco! =]

Unless you are experienced with dogs, DO NOT INVITE THEM INTO YOUR CAR. You dont know what the dog will do when it get into your car. The dog may not like the motion and go hyper and cause you to wreck. Call animal control.

Try calling them to see if you can get them to come to you. If not I would call Animal control.
