“Discover the Heartwarming Stories Behind 90 Adorable Rescue Animals Just Waiting for Their Forever Homes!”
Recently adopted this cute fella from rescue centre. He is only 1.9yo and he was from an animal cruelty case😭 Cant imagine how much he has been through! Glad that he is slowly opening up to me way to go💗
There is an epidemic of animals in need of new homes. While there have (arguably) been some improvements in the situation over the years, things are still dire. The ASPCA reports that in the United States, there are around 78 million owned dogs and 85.8 million cats.
6.3 million companion animals enter shelters every year. 3.1 million are dogs while 3.2 million are cats. Over a decade ago, back in 2011, around 7.2 million animals entered shelters.
Around 4.1 million American shelter animals are adopted each year, nearly identically split between dogs and cats.
Adopted this sweetie pie over the weekend. She’s 3 (older than our other cat but half his size) and was rescued from someone with WAYYYYY too many animals. She’s a princess (a big sweetie and snuggle bug but she’s also a spunky/ feisty gal)
However, the sad reality is that many animals that do not get adopted end up being put to sleep. In the US, around 920,000 companion animals get euthanized every year, down from 2.6 million in 2011.
23% of dogs and 31% of cats were obtained from animal shelters and humane societies in the US. 20% of dog and 28% of cat owners learned about their pets through family and friends, while 34% of dog and 3% of cat owners did so through breeders.
