I can only suppose that this is a made up story aimed at tugging on people's heartstrings. If it works, fine, but if this is an actual shelter, they need to reach out for help that IS available. Best Friends Best Friends Animal Society Home Page is another fine organization that does outreach to other shelters.
I'm posting these links so that anyone whose local shelter is overwhelmed may know of a few places that can help. Our hearts are on the same page with this issue. |
I am not sure where this actual center is and I do agree it might be made up to pull on heart strings I just hope it will help. Our breed rescues here are overwhelmed and I know they are turning away dogs due to the lack of foster homes. I hate to say it but they are getting picky with what they are taking in. Donations are down and they are taking less of the ones with health issues and elderly dogs. I can't say all are doing this but I know a lot are. I have tried to help others placing cats and dogs and whwen I call they are not accepting anything due to a lack of space. I will pass on the links and if they are in need of help maybe the can get it. Thanks.
