Animal shelters struggle as many pets adopted during pandemic are returned

The video discusses the challenges faced by animal shelters in the U.S. due to decreased adoptions and increased financial pressures on pet owners. Shelters like the Humane Rescue Alliance and Lucky Dog are adopting creative strategies to keep animals with their families and out of kill shelters. Inflation has made pet ownership more expensive, leading to more animals being returned to shelters. Regional shelters face additional challenges, with more requests to rehome pets than available adopters. Despite these issues, shelters continue to work tirelessly to save animals and find them new homes.
