Dumping an animal is illegal and leads to misery, fear and loneliness
Pet abandonment is not something that happens only in faraway countries, but it is also happening here in Australia. Shelters are being overwhelmed by surrendered pets, many of whom were purchased during the pandemic lockdowns. No matter where pets are abandoned, the fate of these dogs and cats is always uncertain.
Many Australians with pets are facing hardship and uncertainty, and there are caring animal services available to lend a helping hand to prevent having to surrender or abandon pets.
