“Over the past year, year-and-a-half, we’ve seen intakes very much on the rise, and they don’t seem to be slowing down,” Charleton said, who works with people surrendering pets every day.
Right now, about 200 pets, on average, are given to the shelter each month from families who can no longer care for them.
Often, it is because of a person’s financial or housing situation. Charleton said in the average case, the amount of money standing between a person keeping or surrendering their pet is $250 or less. “A lot of families are having to make decisions around housing — maybe they found somewhere to live where they can have two pets but not three pets, or they’re having to move in with a family member who already has a pet, or they’ve become homeless,” Charleton said.
