The Issue

I witnessed cops question the appearance of animals in Lyn's presence at a recent adoption event. I saw these animals arrive at the event in a heartbreaking state, covered in their own feces, and it was painfully evident that they had suffered from sheer neglect. Lost Paws Animal Rescue, located in Pittstown, Franklin Township, NJ, is under serious scrutiny due to the alleged actions of its founder, Geralyn Serino. Numerous instances of animal abuse and neglect have been reported, raising grave concerns about the welfare of the animals.

Dogs and cats in her care are frequently found in distressing conditions. They arrive at adoption events filthy and malnourished, and yet the excuse is always the same: they had an accident on the way. This is not about a rare mishap, but rather a continued pattern of mistreatment that needs to be stopped.

Reports and evidence suggest that this is not just a single occurrence but a regular situation where animals are kept in unsuitable and harmful conditions. These innocent creatures deserve a clean, safe, and caring environment, and it's up to us, the concerned citizens to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Immediate action must be taken to shut down Lost Paws Animal Rescue permanently. Detailed investigations should be supported, and if allegations are confirmed, Lyn Serino should be legally held accountable. This rescue must be closed to prevent further suffering of animals and to uphold the integrity and humane standards we expect from animal shelters.

Please, join me in demanding the necessary authorities take action, ensuring that no more animals suffer under Lyn Serino's care. Your signature can make a difference and help ensure that rescue centers serve as places of refuge and compassion.

Sign this petition to protect the voiceless and to pursue justice for every neglected pet affected under Lost Paws Animal Rescue's supposed protection. Together, we can create a safer and more humane environment for these animals.
