Shelter Withholds Judgment For Whoever Abandoned Dog Outside Of Grocery Store

Pierce County, WA – A Tacoma animal shelter has chosen kindness over condemnation after a dog was abandoned outside of an area grocery store. A good Samaritan found the German shepherd mix tied up outside of a grocery store last week and the dog was taken to the Humane Society for Tacoma/Pierce County.

After the dog was taken in, the shelter staff reached out to the public with the hope of reaching whoever abandoned the dog:

To this beautiful dog’s pet guardian:

We want to let you know that he is safe and being cared for by our dedicated staff. We know you left him somewhere where he would be found quickly and made sure he was secured so he wouldn’t be in danger and wandering the streets.

The agency did not pass judgment on the dog’s owner – letting the person know that they understand:

We know this decision was not an easy one to make and we are sorry you had to make it. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy. We’re not sure what unfortunate circumstances you were navigating, just know that he is in good hands.

With a special note to the community:

We are here to help. We never want anyone in our community to feel that this is their only option. We have several resources to help people and their pets stay together when possible. Our Pet Food Pantry is available to community members in need and we have a spay & neuter assistance program for those that qualify.
