Some things I will never understand: Three GSD pups rescued from the #northcomplexfire at age 6 weeks, all three singed but fully recovered... and never claimed post-fire. Many owners identified their pets and relinquished them to county animal control, which (though sad) is best for the pets; it enables animal control to put them up for adoption immediately. But to never claim them means they have been waiting for nearly two months in a shelter so their owners have every opportunity to claim them before they are made available for adoption. They have spent more than half their lives so far in a shelter pen — critical weeks in their development! Sad on top of sad. The good news is, they will be adoptable soon from the northwestspca dot org
