Full Humane Society of Central Oregon

They have received 40 strays and owners giving up their pets in the last couple of days.

 

Currently the shelter has 34 dogs and 46 cats.

 

Lynne Ouchida with the Humane Society isn't sure why they're seeing a lot of animals lately, but she's got an idea.

 

"You know our best guess is we've had a long string of nice days and people are in and out of their homes and doors get open and some students are out of school already, so accidents happen.  Make sure your doors and gates are closed.  It's typically why we see an increase in strays."

 

Ouchia says it's important pets have accurate contact numbers on their tags.

 

Often dogs escape when people are on vacation.  It's a good iea to put temporary tags with your pet siters phone numbers -- on your pet.
