It was a rough start to the week for Mobile County Animal Shelter staff on Monday, July 1, 2019. Staff arrived to find four hungry, thirsty, wet, and oxygen-deprived puppies in a sealed container on the front porch, abandoned without explanation.
“Leaving them like that, you basically put them there for them to die,” said the Alabama shelter’s supervisor Andrew Stubbs, speaking to Fox 10. “That’s just... it’s wrong.” This is the second illegal abandonment of animals at the shelter in a fortnight, staff reported, admitting “we see it a lot lately.”
