To the gentleman who abandoned his senior dog at our facility:
You arrived with a dog who has clearly known love. He is gentle, trusting, and calm—even as he suffers from a massive stomach tumor and the confusion of being left behind.
Instead of asking for help, you threw him into the bushes outside our facility. You left him there with a bag, a leash, and a container of food. You briefly spoke with our office clerk, but you never told us what you needed. You didn’t explain. You just tossed him from your truck and left.
Please know this: we will take care of him. He is safe now. He will be treated with the kindness, dignity, and compassion that every living being deserves—especially in their final days. But that will not stop us from prosecuting you to the fullest extent we can. Because what you did to him, is completely inexcusable.
If you were overwhelmed or felt you had no options—we wish you had said something. Help exists. There are people and organizations that will listen. Abandonment, especially like this, is not the answer.
To anyone reading this: if you are struggling to care for your pet, please don’t walk away in silence. Reach out. We are here to help when we can. And when we can't, we will do our best to guide you to someone who can.
He deserved better. All animals do.
