PROBLEMS
Shelters struggle with limited space and an overwhelming number of dogs, leading to cramped
and stressful conditions for the animals.
Shelters often rely on donations and grants, which can be inconsistent. This can affect their
ability to provide adequate food, medical care, and other essential services.
Overcrowded conditions can lead to the spread of diseases and parasites among dogs.
Shelters may also lack the resources to provide regular veterinary care.
