Animal shelter warns against unannounced drop offs

[Catherine]

An animal shelter chanced to check its parcel drop of box near its driveway. They found a taped up box with 8 very young puppies. Their eyes were still closed.
Since they don't always check the parcel box, the puppies were at risk of not being found in time. If someone plans to drop off an animal like that they should alert the shelter to check the box. Fortunately the puppies are doing well and can be adopted in about8 weeks.

That could have ended badly. The puppies could have been in the box for days. The weather could have turned cold or hot unexpectedly. 
Just leaving animals like that is too risky. If you really can't keep a pet, at  least give it a chance. Either bring it right to the shelter or at least let the shelter know where the animal is. Too much depends on luck when you just leave an animal out of sight in a drop box.
