The title of the article says it all: “Don’t abandon your pet!”

Moving and vacation don't have to mean abandonment.

The largest number of pet abandonments occurs during the moving season. In July, it is not uncommon to find cats and dogs in deserted apartments, when they are not on the street or in nature. During the holidays, some owners who do not know where to look after their pet take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of them.

Don't abandon your pet on the street

Do not abandon your cat or dog on the street or in nature; it is not only unconscious, but cruel. Most of the time, it will die of cold, hunger, disease or simply be crushed. You are responsible for your animal
It is your responsibility to find a new home for your pet if you have to give it up. It is wrong to believe that your pet will be able to find a new home without your help. Find a new home for it.

Animal Patrol Can Help You

Rather than leaving your pet in an empty apartment or on the street, contact the Quebec Animal Patrol at 514 367-1000. With this last resort solution, keep in mind that your pet will probably be euthanized if you can't find a foster family for it.

Sterilization, an effective solution!

Remember that by having your pet sterilized, you will help combat overpopulation and mass euthanasia. Sterilization is also a way to save lives.
