The reasons that pets are surrendered to animal control facilities are many...moving, baby on the way, dog is too big, no time, digs, barks, or perhaps this...going on vacation.

On Monday, a shelter volunteer captured a heartbreaking video of a dog who was surrendered to the San Bernardino, Calif., city facility because his owners were going on vacation.

The really awful thing is that the shelter in San Bernardino is a high-kill shelter. They don’t last long there.

Liberals think that the Romney family was evil for taking the family pet in a carrier on top of the car. Wrote songs about it and everything.

Meanwhile this will pass without shaking the Earth. Maybe someone will adopt the pet before it is killed.

Send the owner to a vacation in Syria or Iran.

[VeniVidiVici]

Some people really do suck.

[chrisinoc]

It’s worse than that. City of SB is undergoing bankruptcy and won’t keep the dog beyond 5 days, if even that.

let’s hope the YT vid gets someone to adopt...

“Send the owner to a vacation in Syria or Iran.”

Looks like they will blend in well there.

Thank you for posting this. Perhaps this will not only help this poor baby and save some others.

I have rescue cats/dogs.

[Farmer Dean]

Or get treated like they treated their poor dog.

hispanics let pets go in the streets if they don’t want them. they also almost never get them fixed either. don’t spend any money on medical stuff for them.

[cripplecreek]

You can steal my car and I can shrug it off but if you mess with my dog, there will be violence.

[Eaker]

No kidding.

[ConservativeInPA]

Send the F’n owners to the other side of the border. F’m wetbacks.

[Secret Agent Man]

not mine, my car is my horse. i need it in case i gotta get my animals to the vet. i would love carjacking/theft to be a capital crime.

[ichabod1]

I took a cat to the humane society once because I was going on vacation...

[LostInBayport]

i’ll sell everything i have before i abandon or give up my pets.

Amen to that. These people are soulless.
