Due to Covid and the increase in pet ownership our veterinarians are exhausted. They are taking fewer clients per day, asking for increases in their wages and only so many veterinarians to go around. There is a huge back up in our shelter and rescue communities. Adoptable animals are waiting as long as 2-3 weeks in shelters and rescues because there are no appointments for a few weeks. This problem is nationwide. If every animal advocate fostered 1 pet for 6 months it would give relief to our over burdened shelters and rescues across the country. Become part of the solution.
