Reports of animal abandonment and escaped pets have raised concerns regarding public safety and institutional oversight in several regions.

In Peru, issues began with unsupervised dogs roaming the streets of Andahuaylas, creating risks for both animals and pedestrians. Later, in the Ate district of Lima, two dogs escaped from a private residence after breaking through protective mesh, and they remain missing despite search efforts.

In Argentina, the case of a dog named Conga in Tandil highlighted the challenges of animal rescue and the necessity of lifelong commitment from adopters. Meanwhile, in Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico, a dog escaped from a municipal Animal Welfare Center through a reportedly loose fence. This incident led to criticism regarding the infrastructure and safety of the newly inaugurated facility.
