The Facts

The nation as a whole is experiencing a terrible influx of animals needing homes with not enough homes for them to go to. COVID impacted the animal community when veterinarians were unable to perform spay/neuter surgeries in order to save medical supplies for people. Our clinic was closed down for about 4 months due to this fact. This greatly increased the numbers of puppies and kittens being born. Also, many people were encouraged to adopt a dog or cat as they had time for them while being off work. This sounded like a great idea, but when people went back to work, many did not have time for them and ended up surrendering them, or worse, abandoning them.
