Animal activists are urging families to stop abandoning their pets and act responsibly after 13 dogs were found left behind in an apartment in Jidhafs.
This latest case is one of many growing incidents in which people adopt animals without considering the long-term commitment or ensuring they have the financial means to properly care for them.
The dogs – a mix of Shih Tzus, Spitz and other small breeds – were rescued by the Bahrain Animal Rescue Centre after being left alone in the apartment for around five days, following their owner’s arrest for allegedly living illegally in Bahrain.
“When we saw the state of the apartment and the condition of the dogs, it was a no-brainer that we had to help,” BARC UK representative Lucie Belgrave told the GDN. “As a rescue shelter we are already at full capacity, with around 250 animals, so we knew we couldn’t take all of them.”
