How many dogs were abandoned this year?

I do not have access to real-time data, including statistics on animal abandonment.

To find out how many dogs were abandoned this year, I recommend checking resources from reputable organizations like:

* The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)

* The Humane Society of the United States

* Local animal shelters and rescues

These organizations often track and publish statistics on animal abandonment and can provide you with the most accurate information for your area.
