To those who would abandon your dog(s), hear me!
The least you could do is to think of their future! When we get them at our shelter, we know nothing about them! We don't know their name(s), so they will never hear anyone call their familiar name again! We don't know their history, when they were born, their medical history or what kind of food thy like. We don't know if they are afraid of thunder & fireworks or if they love to play with children. Do they love or hate cats? Maybe you could at least leave a note telling us about them!
FYI...ANIMAL ABANDONMENT IS NOT JUST CRUELTY...IT IS A CRIME!!! Class C Felony!
ORS 167.340 is amended to read: 167.340. (1) A person commits the crime of animal abandonment if the person intentionally, knowingly, recklessly or with criminal negligence leaves a domestic animal or an equine at a location without providing [for the animal's continued care.]
