Shelter's Plea for Humane Surrender

• ⚠️ Shelter workers emphasize that leaving an animal outside is not the correct procedure, even with good intentions.
• 🗣️ They urge individuals unable to care for pets to contact the shelter directly to provide crucial information about the animal's health and temperament.
• 🏥 This information is vital for proper care and successful placement in a new home.

Dog's Condition and Future

• 🤕 The dog, described as shy but in good health, had some scrapes and a bruise on her nose, likely from trying to escape the kennel.
