*Linn County Animal Shelter*

It has been brought to our attention by the manager of the Linn County Animal Shelter that individuals have been leaving dogs at the shelter after hours.

If you need to surrender an animal after business hours, please use the contact phone number provided at the shelter so proper arrangements can be made. For the safety and well-being of the animals, please do not tie them up in a manner that prevents them from moving freely or accessing shelter, food, or water.

If this issue continues, please be advised that the shelter is equipped with cameras, and staff may contact those responsible regarding the incident.

Thank you for your cooperation and ensure the safety of these animals.
