1. The stock market decline has cut the endowments for humane societies, meaning that less money is available for services. Open hours at shelters get cut. Ability to care for animals goes down. Shelters close to save money. (MA is closing 3 SPCA shelters)
2. People less likely to adopt pets. Shelters get full.
3. People give up their pets to shelters. If you lose your home, you often can’t take your pets with you to a rental. If you can’t afford people food, pet food is a luxury. Vet bills are an issue. Job loss increases abandoned pets.
4. People abandon pets to the streets or to shelters, pets often sick or suffering from neglect. Shelters have to pay more for care, euthanize more animals.
5. Shortage of donors and volunteers.
