Caring for Stray Animals
Dogs, cats, birds and more, Republic Services’ employees have rescued them all at company facilities.
The West County Resource Recovery (WCRR) facility in Richmond, California, is a place where abandoned and lost animals just seem to show up. Dogs, cats, kittens, puppies and even a chicken have decided to call the facility their temporary home.
The landfill is adjacent to a very large field where many lost animals hide. WCRR employees often find these little animals and some employees have taken many of them to a local veterinarian for shots and medical treatment before finding homes for them.
The big-hearted Republic Services employees at West County have even adopted a few dogs and cats themselves. Employees jokingly refer to the general manager as “Dr. Doolittle” because he has adopted three cats and a dog.
