Series of abandonments
Family of dogs left behind – animal keepers furious!
The new year is still short, but the Garten Eden animal shelter in Klagenfurt has already recorded a series of abandonments. Now a whole family of dogs has been left out in the cold. The animal keepers are annoyed.
"One abandonment is followed by another - since the beginning of the year, one dog and two cats have simply been dumped outside our gates," says Dennis Fingerl, animal keeper at the Garten Eden animal shelter. And on Sunday night, a still unknown person left a female dog and her four puppies in the freezing cold. "The mother dog is extremely skinny and her offspring have terrible diarrhea; they were all completely filthy...", says the animal keeper, describing the condition of the poor four-legged friends.
Animals are repeatedly abandoned in front of the shelter, which pushes the keepers to their limits: "Abandoning animals in this cold in strange places not only means stress for the animals, but also that the shelter has to meet a deadline of 30 days before we can place them," explains Fingerl. As a result, the shelter is bursting at the seams. One keeper has to look after up to 60 animals: "We want to guarantee good care and not just dispatch the animals. Animal abandonment makes this very difficult for us!"
Important information is missing
Fingerl can't understand it: "Why don't people call beforehand? Or at least give us some information about the animal?" The animal's name would be incredibly helpful in such a stressful situation, as would some of its medical history.
"Every single life is precious, please don't forget that," Fingerl appeals once again. If anyone knows the litter, they should contact the Garten Eden animal shelter. The dog and her puppies are not in a good condition and the animal keepers are now waiting for a vet.
