All adoptable family pets are present on age suitable vaccines, dewormed and microchipped, and will be scheduled to be changed and receive a rabies vaccine.
Recent data launched by Best Friends revealed that in 2022, 57% of shelters in the U.S. were no-kill, however 378,000 dogs and cats were killed nationally mainly due to an ongoing reduction in dog adoptions compared to pre-pandemic rates.
Shelters throughout the nation are experiencing a boost in animal populations and adoption rates aren’t keeping up, leading to overruning kennels. That’s why Best Friends Animal Society, and almost 600 shelter and rescue partners have actually collaborated for the nationwide occasion. By embracing a unique and loveable shelter animal, 2 lives are saved – that of the embraced cat or dog, and another that can now take their space in the shelter.
“We are excited to host our fifth National Adoption Weekend, encouraging the community to add a new pet to their home this summer,” said Julie Castle, CEO, Best Friends Animal Society. “These warmer months can see some of the highest intakes in shelters, so it’s critical the shelter staff and volunteers have the support they need from the community. If you can, please adopt and foster. And if you already have pets, make sure they’re microchipped and spayed/neutered.”
At a time when many shelters throughout the nation are short-staffed and well over capability, people can assist in saving lives by selecting to adopt a deserving animal from a shelter or rescue group rather of buying from a breeder or store. If you can’t contribute to your family today, you can still help by making sterile or sterilizing your family pets, promoting kittens or an adult dog, offering, contributing, and promoting for tested lifesaving shows for regional family pets.
