This is a National issue.
Animals left abandoned face horrible death-Coyotes, hit by a vehicle, tortured by teens, starvation, dehydration, animal fights, being shot or injured, freezing weather, heat exhaustion, severe shock and depression. When these animals are brought to a city shelter, rescue or agency, do not charge that individual for bringing that animal in for help. There are places that do not charge a fee, but the other places also need to stop. Most people are already struggling financially and simply want to help an innocent animal find its way to a good home.
