“We know there’s alligators, snakes, coyotes, other kind of things,” Bullivant said. “A regular family pet would not be able to survive or defend themselves.”
This month, the group found and saved Luca. He was dumped, emaciated, and in bad shape.
They also found Haron. He was a runaway and was reunited with his family.
A quick search Monday by Bullivant and another volunteer, Jessie Paige, led to an abandoned dog leash and collar.
“It makes me heart broken,” Paige said. “I couldn’t imagine my dog being out here just wondering where I was. Anything could happen.”
When we asked the City of Palm Bay if it was aware of this problem and what plans are in the works for The Compound, a spokesperson told us they had no comment.
When we asked Palm Bay Police the same, they told us: “When the police department receives a call about an abandoned animal, our officers respond to help in any way they can. We also work closely with the Brevard County Animal Services and our community partners to ensure the animals are safe and protected.”
This volunteer group plans to meet weekly to search for animals in need as well as educate others on responsible dog ownership and provide dog food for those who can’t afford it.
Right now, the group is conducting searches every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and invites the public to join.
