đ˘ Clear the Shelters â and Keep Them Clear
As August winds down, weâre also closing out Clear the Shelter Month.
But hereâs the thing: overcrowding in shelters isnât a one-month problem. Across the country, in big cities, small towns, rural area, the shelters are overflowing with pets. Is it the economy? A leftover effect of COVID? Hard to say. Whatâs clear is that the need is real.
In our practice, we meet pets from every background: high-end breeders, pet stores, private adoptions. But the majority of the dogs and cats we care for come from shelters and rescue groups. And time and again, they turn out to be some of the most loyal, loving companions you could ask for.
So donât let this stop at the end of August. Adoption canât just be a campaign - it has to be a mindset. Every month should be âClear the Shelter Month.â If youâve been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family: adopt, adopt, adopt. đž
