Animal shelters frequently find themselves overcrowded and, consequently, stretched thin for resources. These sudden influxes in occupants occur for a variety of reasons. The consolidation of two shelters, due to one facility being forced to close, extreme weather conditions, and natural disasters might all cause a spike in the number of homeless animals. Shelter volunteers also cite the seizure of animals in instances of hoarding, negligent or cruel activity in puppy mills, and criminal offenses; such as dog fighting as resulting in sudden and drastic overcrowding.

Overcrowding in shelters can exacerbate health and socialization issues, and also facilitates the development and spread of disease. The emotional taxation of sharing tight quarters also overstresses the animals and often leads to fighting.

Within your community there might be a really great event you’re missing out on that will not only allow you to be part of the solution, but will also be a wonderful way to expand your family! When these sudden and drastic instances of overcrowding occur, local shelters frequently hold free adoption events.
