I get it, and it’s good it will help against dumping, but it makes me sad.

People who were able to afford to have a pet 4 years ago can no longer do so, even after the second job. It doesn’t make the news, but animal abandonment is at an all time high. If it continues for another 4, people are going to be eating them.

This is the saddest thing I have ever seen.
I get what this is and why it is there, but still.

We have that at the shelter I volunteer at. It’s for people to drop off stray animals if the shelter is closed. There is always someone there and an alarm sounds when the door closes so people in the shelter know an animal has been dropped off

>for animals
Meaning…that people can put animals in there, or it’s meant to be used by animals?

I had to use one of these at a shelter in Denver. A well-groomed, fed, obviously well-trained, healthy looking male dog showed up at a neighborhood dog park when it was just me and my pup there. Super cute pup and I’d seen him around but didn’t know where his owner lived and he didn’t have his collar on. My dog is super protective of my apartment regarding male dogs, so I couldn’t keep him overnight. It was 9pm and local police said to take him to the shelter that has 24/7 dropoff. I left my number for an update and they called the next day saying he was chipped and they’d contacted his owner for a happy reunion 🙂
