With four more dog surrenders today and no scheduled dog overnights or adoptions, we’ve had to double up kennels. We also have an unexpected litter from an unclaimed stray, and with our puppy ward currently being used for a cat hoarding case, we had to move puppies into our quarantine cat room.
Right now, we have no open dog kennels left. Any additional incoming dogs may have to be housed outside.
We are in crisis mode once again — this time with dogs.
In all the years we’ve been open, the past six months have brought some of the highest numbers we’ve ever seen to our little rural shelter and we honestly don’t know what this means going forward. The need in our community has become overwhelming, and our little staff has been pushed far past burnout mode trying to keep up with the constant intake and daily care these animals deserve.
Lately it feels like animals have become easier to give up on, and shelters everywhere are feeling the weight of it. Our community has always pulled together in times of need — whether it’s for the two-legged or the four-legged — and right now, we truly need your help.
How can you help?
• Adopt
• Foster
• Share our posts
• Donate through PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=GNT6QQCL5TKX2
• Donate dog or cat food and supplies
Every share matters. Every foster home matters. Every adoption opens space for another animal in need.
We will keep fighting for them until every one of them finds a home.
