HILLSBORO Ore. (KPTV) – A developing situation is happening in Hillsboro Wednesday night, where neighbors are concerned about dogs that they say have been abandoned in a parked van for several days.
The dogs appear to be okay but the footage may be upsetting for some viewers.
FOX 12 found the van parked at a Hillsboro apartment complex with more than one dog visible inside.
It is not known who owns the van or how long the dogs have been there.
A woman who lives at the complex claims the animals have been left alone for seven days, but that timeline has not been confirmed by Hillsboro Police.
SEE ALSO:
Officers have checked on the dogs at least twice and determined that they are safe.
“It’s really hard out there right now, a lot of people are homeless and living in their cars, so I don’t want anybody to get mad at people for leaving their dogs in the car. I’m sure that maybe there’s a situation that made this happen you know?” said a neighbor.
Hillsboro Police say they have been in touch with the owner, and say animal control officials have been involved with the check-ins.
Investigators say they should know more about how the situation will be resolved on Thursday morning.
