This dog is apparently nice...the families in the rural area knew she had been abandoned and had been feeding her for a couple of months.
Just guessing from growing up in the area, but I imagine that they thought she would eventually just “stick around” and become the farm dog. Nothing wrong with that; better life than she had with the person who dumped her. I’m just glad that when she was injured she ended up at the farmhouse of someone who decided to try to help her.
I’m glad she got saved but to turn this into an anti trapping thing is sad. The dog should have never been running loose from the start.
