I see abandoned pets all over social media and also in person have seen pets that have been left alone scared. this happens much more frequently then you would expect. abandoning your pet is basically killing it because they don’t know how to live on their own. People dump their pets anywhere they want and many go unnoticed. If you ever see a pet abandoned make sure to report it to get people to realize you shouldn’t do this. If you are no longer able to care for your pet find it a better loving home or bring it to a shelter, never leave it for death.

These pets are left scared, cold, hungry, and alone thinking someone is coming back for them. A pet being unfixed and abandoned is the worst and can cause an over population of litters. There are so many facts of cruelty in this act, they are left to fend for themselves and stay away from predators. They have no clue how to survive and are in constant danger from people, cars, and other animals.

What to do when you find an abandoned pet ?

first check the situation out and make sure the animal is ok. There are different laws and rules with pet abandonment so it’s good to know what to expect beforehand. next carefully approach the animal and try to offer water and food to get them to become comfortable with you. Next capture the pet safely, make sure to approach from the side while going slow and carefully. Get a leash on them and try putting them in a space they feel safe in then check for any tags of identification. if you cant catch the animals on your own call animal control for help. Next you can decide either you can choose to take the pet yourself and care for it or file a report and have them take it to a shelter.
