The shelter is full of not only canine, but guinea pigs and rabbits, as well – all at potential. 

“A pair of them have been identified tied to trees or poles. Some with their possessions. We realize points transpire. Men and women go by means of difficult situations, but um, that is a awful issue to do to a dog,” claimed Donohue. ‘We really don’t have space right now, but we’ll have home in a handful of days, but hold on to them. Just don’t tie them up.”
