The West Valley Humane Society in Caldwell, Idaho, is urging community members to assist with the care of abandoned pets. Recently, a bucket of adorable puppies was left in the shelter’s lobby, and the perpetrators refused to answer questions from the staff.
Importance of Documentation
The shelter emphasized the need to document who brings in each stray animal and connect that person to the animal’s official intake record. As pets are legally considered property, gathering basic information is crucial to establish where the animal came from, how it was found, and who transferred it into their care.
Providing identification does not mean that individuals will be charged a fee. The information is necessary to provide documentation in case someone claims the abandoned animals. The shelter assured that the information will not be shared with the public.
The West Valley Humane Society is a nonprofit organization that serves Canyon County, Caldwell, Nampa, and other cities within the county. It relies on volunteers, donations, and contributions from the county and cities to operate. Those who wish to make a difference and help animals can consider donating, adopting, fostering, or volunteering.
