A dog was taken to the Seattle Animal Shelter after a man abandoned it at Golden Gardens on Saturday.
According to KIRO, at 1pm, a man in a large black pickup truck let the dog out of a crate near the beach and drove away. A bystander stayed with the dog for about an hour until the Seattle Animal Shelter could pick him up.
It’s a crime to abandon an animal, the consequences for which could include up to a $500 fine.
Ann Graves, executive director of the Seattle Animal Shelter told KIRO that it’s “just so unnecessary” to abandon an animal — the shelter offers free rehoming services for those who can no longer care for their animals.
For now, the dog will stay at the shelter while authorities try to locate the man who left it at the park.

Ah, so if I am to understand this correctly: “Ann Graves, executive director of the Seattle Animal Shelter told KIRO that it’s “just so unnecessary” to abandon an animal — the shelter offers free rehoming services for those who can no longer care for their animals.”
…offering free services didn’t stop some jerk from doing whatever they wanted anyway? Shocking. I wonder if this applies to other things, too.
Also, animal abuse is probably the ONLY THING that NeoSeattleites seem to care about, so maybe they will start to realize that the animals kept by our tent/RV friends are often not only sometimes dangerous (muh pit baby sorry about your toddler), but also mistreated because their “owners” are insane criminal addict sociopaths.
