Bastionpoint Technology Donates Security System to Deter Illegal Abandoned Pet Dumping at Colonial Heights Animal Shelter

• Bastionpoint Technology made this contribution after a heartbreaking incident reported in August, where a dog that was found tied to the shelter’s fence along with other illicit animal abandonment that has been posted on their social media as well as across many news outlets this year.
• In Virginia, abandoning or dumping an animal is illegal and is a misdemeanor offense.

“Pets don’t deserve to be left in the dark, abandoned, and confused. They deserve compassion, dignity, and a chance at a better life,” said Eric Clary, COO of Bastionpoint Technology. “Doing nothing isn’t an option. We’re proud to stand with the Colonial Heights Animal Shelter.”

The project, led by Reilly McWhorter, Bastionpoint’s Low Voltage and Camera Specialist, ensures the shelter is equipped with reliable, modern security to safeguard animals and discourage illegal dumping. “A pet isn’t disposable. Pets are family, and no family member deserves to be thrown away,” McWhorter said.

This effort is more than about cameras and technology; it’s about compassion, accountability, and creating a safer community for animals who cannot speak for themselves. Bastionpoint Technology is honored to provide this protection and give shelter staff added peace of mind as they continue their tireless work.
