‼️Este es un mensaje MUY importante…

Este año, hemos observado un preocupante aumento en el abandono de animales en Elizabeth. Los perros están siendo dejados atados en el refugio, abandonados en apartamentos vacíos o soltados en las calles y carreteras. Estas situaciones no solo son peligrosas para los animales—que no pueden valerse por sí mismos y han conocido solo la vida en un hogar—sino que también son ilegales. Permítanme enfatizar: es ILEGAL abandonar cualquier animal en los Estados Unidos, incluyendo Nueva Jersey y Elizabeth.

Los animales dejados en situaciones de miedo pueden representar un riesgo de morder a alguien, lo cual es injusto para todos los involucrados. Mi familia proviene de América del Sur, donde ver animales callejeros es común, pero las leyes aquí son diferentes y son aplicadas por las autoridades locales. Compartiré un PDF que describe las leyes de protección animal en Nueva Jersey para que todos podamos entender nuestras responsabilidades.

Por favor, reconsideren antes de llevar una mascota a sus hogares. Abandonar a un animal porque está enfermo o porque ya no tienen tiempo para él nunca es una opción aceptable. Hay recursos disponibles en línea para rescates, otros posibles adoptantes o refugios que pueden acoger a sus mascotas. Recuerden, cuando dieron la bienvenida a ese cachorro o gatito, asumieron una responsabilidad de por vida. Pasar esa responsabilidad a la ciudad de manera tan descuidada es tanto irresponsable como inconsiderado. Actuemos con sensatez y de acuerdo con las leyes de nuestra ciudad y estado.

Gracias.

‼️This is a VERY important message…

This year, we’ve observed a troubling increase in the abandonment of animals in Elizabeth. Dogs are being left tied up at the shelter, abandoned in empty apartments, or let loose on the streets and highways. These situations are not only dangerous for the animals—who cannot fend for themselves and have known only home life—but also illegal. Let me emphasize: it is ILLEGAL to abandon any animal in the United States, including in New Jersey and Elizabeth.

Animals left in fearful situations can pose a risk of biting someone, which is unfair to everyone involved. My family hails from South America, where seeing stray animals is common, but the laws here are different and are enforced by local authorities. I will share a PDF outlining the animal protection laws in New Jersey so that we can all understand our responsibilities.

Please reconsider before bringing a pet into your home. Abandoning an animal because they are sick or because you no longer have time for them is never an acceptable option. There are resources available online for rescues, other potential adopters, or shelters that can take in your pets. Remember, when you welcomed that puppy or kitten, you took on a lifelong responsibility. Passing that responsibility to the city in such a careless way is both irresponsible and inconsiderate. Let’s act thoughtfully and in accordance with the laws of our city and state.

Thank you.

Male found by CVS on Rahway Ave. His microchip says his name is Gorgui but the phone number registered says number is disconnected. Please help him find his owners! Looks like he was just groomed too.

Male Husky found November 6th on Chilton and Lincoln Ave. Owner was contacted and agreed to come pick him up and has not stopped by for him yet. Poor guy spent Thanksgiving at the shelter 💔 To the owner please understand the shelter legally cannot adopt out a dog that has an owner. If you do not want him you have to stop by the shelter and sign surrender forms so he can become property of the city and become adopted.
