So very sad. My husband & I were just talking about this today. I went to the shelter a few weeks ago with a friend to look for a dog & literally there were cages of cats stacked up in every nook, hallway & countertop.
So many dogs..alot of pitbulls & pit mixes. They are thank goodness, a no kill shelter but there is only so much room.
This is also happening with domesticated horses, they have found at least 63 abandoned horses abandonded into the wild because owners don't want to take care of them anymore.
That is so heartbreaking, those poor horses don't stand a chance unless they are rescued. Nevada's wild horse population will not accept them & are very violent to domesticated horses and will kill them.
