The Ridgefield Police report that the Ridgefield Animal Shelter, as well as surrounding towns shelters, have had several incidents of pets being left at the door.
"This is considered abandonment and is NOT legal. When an animal is left at the door of a shelter, there is no confirmation of valid rabies inoculations, as well as any other defects or diseases that the animal may potentially have. This causes risk to employees, other animals, and anyone else that may come in contact with these abandoned animals," police say.
If you can no longer care for your pet, please contact Ridgefield Animal Control at 203-431-2711 and they will put you in touch with someone that will be able to assist in the surrendering of your pet.
