📢 Clear the Shelters – and Keep Them Clear
As August winds down, we’re also closing out Clear the Shelter Month.
But here’s the thing: overcrowding in shelters isn’t 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. What’s 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 don’t let this stop at the end of August. Adoption can’t just be a campaign - it has to be a mindset. Every month should be “Clear the Shelter Month.” If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family: adopt, adopt, adopt. 🐾
