Please remember to contact 911 if you see or hear anyone dropping off pets in our neighborhood. Animal cruelty charges can be filed against the perpetrator if they are caught in the act or if they can get a good description of the car -- color, license, make, etc. It happens so quickly but most people travel with their cell phones these days so if we can just remember this safety tip call 911 -- in our case, it will be Springfield Township responding.
Last Tuesday, someone dropped off their 2 pit bull mix (Pitador or Labrabull) in our neighborhood. While the two dogs ended up being pretty friendly, we just can't take that chance not knowing their temperament. The dogs were big enough to knock down and injure a small child or adult if approached. In fact, they nearly took my screen out jumping up trying to get into my home because they were so hungry.
We all want to do the right thing in caring for strays by reuniting the ones who are lost and the ones who are clearly abandoned. Just keep in mind to contact 911 when you see someone dropping off dogs, cats, or other family pets into our neighborhood.
