  Larry

   

  Larry was rescued from the street last Christmas, he was running everywhere, we believe he had a family because he was not in poor health, but no matter how hard we looked for his family, we did not find him, we believe that he ran with the cuetes because he was very scared

  The problem

  Every day around the world a bond between people and their pets is broken, resulting in millions of pets being surrendered to shelters each year.

   

  With approximately 6.3 million pets entering U.S. animal shelters a year, of those 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized. That's around 2,500 per day. 

  

  
  

  Common reasons for surrenders to animal shelters include

  • Personal issues (including divorce, pregnancy/recent birth, or jail)
  • No longer wanted (the animal was a gift or is unwanted)
  • Housing issues (including eviction, complaints from neighbours, being unable to find pet-friendly housing)
  • Guardian health (including owner sickness or injury, allergies to pet, death of owner)
  • Feral/free-roaming (surrender of a feral or free-roaming animal)
  • Can't afford (including being unable to pay for veterinary costs,  maintenance costs, or impound fees)
  • Behaviour (including animal behavioural issues such as aggression, digging/chewing, house training issues)
  • Animal health (including animal injuries, sickness, or animal pregnancy)
  • Abandoned (by a friend, relative, or tenant)
  • Too many (including unwanted litters, and having too many animals in the home), which was used as the reference category.
