Why are there so many rescue dogs from Alabama?
Last year, shelters in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi were running out of so-called “pandemic puppies.” Now, they are literally overflowing with dogs, cats and even hamsters due to a variety of reasons — the lingering coronavirus pandemic, mating season and transportation issues, to name a few.
Where do most dogs in shelters come from?
Although animals enter shelters for a variety of reasons, the majority of shelter populations are comprised of strays, rescues and surrenders: Stray animals are often found on the streets and brought in by Good Samaritans or local law authorities.
How do puppies end up in shelters?
People losing their job, getting a divorce, having a new baby, or encountering difficulties with their health are also common reasons that dogs end up in shelters.
