I imagine Coos County is the same as Douglas County. State law rules. If you value your dog, keep it with you or keep it home. Rural areas are prone to dog dumping, and sometimes those dogs become a real hazard to wildlife and livestock. In my neighborhood, if we can catch the dog, we give it a free ride to the pound. If we can't catch the dog, we have to shoot it, even though we would much rather be shooting the dog owner.
In towns, the "free ride to the pound" has become a popular solution to free running dogs. It costs the dog owner $50 to bail their dog out, if they even bother. People who let their dogs run loose often view them as disposable.
