Caged dog abandoned outside of warehouse September 9, 2014 Penny Eims Dog News Examiner A caged dog was abandoned on Tuesday morning outside of the Villalobos Rescue Center warehouse in New Orleans, Louisiana. Not a worn out pair of shoes, an outdated handbag or a tired couch - a living, breathing, sentient being...a dog. A photo of the frightened dog, along with these words, was posted to the Villalobos Rescue Center Facebook page today: Dogs in dumpsters, dogs chained up and dogs dumped in front of our warehouse. This morning we came in to find this scared girl, alone and confused as to why her owners just left her there. Along with words of frustration and despair: I dont even have words anymore. We just keep adding to the pile of now over 400 dogs (not all at this location). Ironically when our TV show goes back on air (premiere Oct. 4th) the amount of dogs getting dumped goes way up. Wish we had the magically answer to all of this but until then, we just have to make a difference for each dog as they come our way.. The number of dumped and abandoned dogs seems to be nearing epidemic levels across much of the nation in a society which appears to have embraced the instant gratification mindset. Pets are not disposable - they are not trendy, they are not for the short term, they are not to be obtained, only to later be abandoned and then forgotten. Thanks to the Villalobos Rescue Center, this dog will have a future - other discarded dogs will not be as fortunate.
