VOSD will consider dogs abandoned during the COVID19 lockdown. Proof will be needed to verify when the pet was abandoned i.e. a photo, video or police report.
OTHER circumstances:
Lactating dogs with puppies (6 months or younger), will not be considered. They are prone to infections from other dogs at VOSD, therefore for their safety, we cannot admit them.
The following categories will continue to require a standard VOSD surrender fee:
- Pet dogs surrender by owner.
- Healthy stray dogs rescued by rescuers, who may have previously received professional medical help.
