Alarming rise in abandoned pets sparks 'crisis point 😨😨😨😨 Animal rescue centers in the UK are facing a crisis due to a sharp rise in abandoned pets, largely driven by the aftermath of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis. Many centers, including Bristol ARC and Bath Cats and Dogs Home, are overwhelmed with animals needing complex medical care. The influx of unsocialized "pandemic pups" and rising costs are straining resources, with a 24% increase in animal intake at Bristol ARC. Despite community support, like fundraising efforts, rescue centers are urging owners to seek help early and act responsibly to avoid abandoning their pets. As we paws perfecto cares for pets, so we want to stop people from abandoning their pets and give love and care to them.

Want to hear a statistic that might blow your mind? If 0.18% of Dorchester County residents adopted an animal from Dorchester Paws - our kennels would be empty. Just 0.18% of our community, and no animal would be without a warm bed to sleep tonight. While this number may seem small, it’s the difference maker for each of the 302 shelter residents in our care, like Junie. This number could rewrite the story of loneliness and longing for 2 year old lovable Junie. It’s the critical number for triumph in animal welfare and victory for each and every animal. 0.18% Each adoption is not merely a statistic but a commitment to providing loving homes and remaining a nurturing environment for the many souls in need. Together, we can continue to make a tangible difference in the lives of so many and expand our capacity to care for even more in the future. Whether you’re able to open your home and heart through adoption, fostering, or you know 3 to 5 people who might be - our community can rally around homeless animals and ensure bright futures for them. Stop in from 12p-5p to potentially meet your new best friend!

Lifesaving animal shelter policy: - Do not impound eartipped community cats. They are already home outdoors and have been spayed or neutered. - If a non-eartipped community cat is impounded, immediately practice #TNR. Community cats are generally not adoptable and are extremely stressed in a shelter environment. TNR is the only humane, effective approach. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eWymq-7z

Champaign County Humane Society is now a shelter-member of the Home-to-Home network! Nationwide, shelter-dog populations have been extremely high, putting a strain on shelter staff and volunteers. Our kennels are full; Animal Control is full; other local rescues are full; other County facilities are full. While we remain committed to housing and rehoming pets here at the shelter, in order to help as many homeless pets as possible, we’ve decided to offer Home-to-Home as another way of helping pets and people find each other. Home-to-Home is an online platform through which pets needing homes can be found by people looking for pets! Individuals can post the animals they need to re-home, and people looking to adopt (or foster) a pet can search our affiliated Home-to-Home Page for local cats and dogs. CCHS screens new postings, but we don’t have any direct involvement in the adoption process. Home-to-Home provides owners guidance on responsibly rehoming their pet and does not allow the selling of animals for profit. Home-to-Home’s mission aligns with ours – to see pets that need a home transferred to new homes safely and with a minimum amount of stress.  #adoptdontshop #animalwelfare #shelters #petadoption #hometohome
