“Both shelters are accepting donations, volunteers and foster homes so when they do reach capacity, they can still serve their community.”
CUYAHOGA COUNTY, Ohio — Several shelters across Cuyahoga County are currently facing a new trend when it comes adoption.
At one time, Harvey says adopting a pet may have come without hesitation for some but, considering the rising costs we’re experiencing now for things like gas and food, she says this: “Locally all of us as shelters are seeing more animals coming in but what we’re predominantly seeing is a lot of animals that are not getting reclaimed, they’re staying with us a little bit longer making space feel more challenging,” said Naticchioni.
Naticchioni couldn’t provide a definite answer if inflation is causing, this but believes it could be a possible reason.
