It’s holiday season which means there will be a lot of impulse bought pets that will get abandoned right after the party ends. That’s a very blunt and sad statement but sadly it’s incredibly true and if you work in rescue or in any sort of animal shelter you’re probably already preparing for this upcoming time.
My rescuer friends are preparing for literally hundreds of cats and dogs in January, not even counting the smaller pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnys, etc. Last year one of them had 600 hamsters in January… 600. And no, that’s not from all across the country, that’s just in his city. He had bunnys in shoeboxes thrown over their fence at night and a pregnant guinea pig in the trash bin.
That’s why i’m asking you: When you take out the trash and there’s a closed cardboard box (or straight up a pet cage) that rustles please take a few seconds of your time to open it and look inside. When you see a nervous dog tied up somewhere, wait a few minutes and if no owner comes contact somebody (police, local shelter).
I know this has nothing to do with my blog but this is very important to me and i want to spread this message. If this is too long for you please just copy and share the bolded text! Thank you
