MORRISVILLE BOROUGH, Penn. (Gray News) – Authorities in Pennsylvania said a total of six dogs were abandoned at a dog park after the previous owner was unable to care for them.

Officers responded to a report from a Morrisville County dog ​​park where they found the six dogs, all weighing between 50 and 60 pounds, running loose.

According to police, three of the six dogs were adopted locally by neighbors. The other three were taken to the Bucks County (Lahaska) SPCA and are still looking for homes.

Officials said they found a note near the entrance to the dog park explaining the dogs’ situation.

According to police, the message said the dogs were rescued from their previous owner who was unable to care for them.

Due to the rules in their apartment, the rescuer couldn’t keep them either and instead left the dogs at the dog park in the hopes that someone would find them.

In a statement, the Morrisville County Police Department said it is seeking to contact the person responsible for abandoning the dogs, saying it is concerned about other animals being left in the care of the irresponsible owner.

“While the Morrisville County Police Department does not condone the abandonment of animals, this case is a larger issue that we want to isolate and ensure all animals are safe,” the post said.

If you believe animals in your community are not being properly cared for, your best bet is to contact your local animal welfare group or police and inform them of the situation, authorities say.

“Please take your animals to animal shelters and do not abandon them, even if you mean well,” police said.

Anyone interested in adopting one of the three remaining dogs is asked to contact the Lahaska SPCA at 215-794-7425.

Anyone with information about the situation from which the dogs were removed is asked to contact Cpl. Halas at [email protected] or 215-295-8112.
