Fact:
Every year in the U.S., between 9 and 11 million animals die in shelters. Rescue shelters are always at capacity, and there are many more animals being abandoned each day than there are homes that welcome pets in.
-
Fact:
The most common reasons people give when dropping their pets off at shelters are: “The dog got bigger than we thought it would.” “We’re moving and we just can’t bring our pet with us.” But when you take in a pet, the pet becomes a part of your family. Would you leave another family member behind when you moved, or if they grew too tall?

Fact:
Once your pet is left at a shelter, it has about 72 hours to be adopted before it is destroyed. If he or she is a highly coveted breed and stays completely healthy, they may survive for a few more days, but even the most beautiful and loving pets are susceptible to the harsh emotional and physical conditions at over-crowded shelters.
