Forget the Spànish, one of the biggest problems we now have at our shelter is British people returning to the Uk and dumping their pets. These poor dogs have been used to a home life and now end up in our shelter. In the past week we have had four such dogs dumped on us. Arriving at work this morning I was greeted by a huge boxer and a terrified Breton Spaniel cross who had been tied at our gate over night. The nights are freezing at the moment and these poor dogs were absolutely frozen. They are terrified and bewildered. With them was a note saying that it is hoped that we find them new families who will "love them as much as we have done" , there were also instructions as to what type of home I should seek for them and to whom I should or should not home them?????? A few months ago we had two 10 year old labs dumped here who had actually been brought over from the UK but their horrible owner never had the rabies blood test done in order to take them back when his spanish bubble burst. How can people do this? It really is beyond me and makes me bloody furious.
