You're right...and that's another upsetting wrinkle to this issue.
In my area, I saw first-hand the tremendous number of animals needing homes after Hurricane Katrina. Local shelters networked with shelters in other areas to help with the problem. Best Friends was instrumental in their invaluable aid, too. I hope that shelters that find themselves overwhelmed reach out to the resources that are available for help.
