Dear Val,
Can anyone enlighten me as to the law in France around abandoned animals? It appears there is a female German Shepherd dog, pale colouring, looking starved, thin and weak, wandering in distress in the street in the La Pause district of Najac at the moment. I saw her the other day and thought she belonged to someone in the street but am told she is probably lost or dumped.
A neighbour fed her the other day and she was desperately hungry.
I will ring the vet to find out if anyone has reported her lost, but wondered if there are penalties for abandoning a pet. We also have a local problem with cats which are regularly left behind when people leave house. This seems astonishing to me. One lady is known by name. She left the area and when challenged by phone said she'd probably be back next week to pick up her cats and never returned. I am shocked!
All the best
Sally
