Dropping off an animal on any other day is sad but dumping your pet on a Holiday just seems to add insult to injury. East Valley Animal Shelter in Van Nuys , California was not filled with holiday cheer this Christmas , but rather had a alarming flux of abandoned animals. The unrelenting amount of intakes on the eve of the holiday caused more then a hand full of animals to be killed to make room. It must have been a surreal situation. All radios playing Christmas carols. Homeless and confused pets being left behind to the faint sounds of other dogs taking their last breath.
In loving of memory

Trixie - Brindle Female
Now to clean up the mess, and save who we can. These animals were put at even higher risk due to the Christmas drop offs. There is still hope for them so Please take a look and consider bringing home a new family member for the new year.
