🐾 In just the first 138 days of this year, 634 dogs were taken to Denver Animal Shelter by the very people they trusted most – their owners – and left behind.

📈 That’s a 237% increase compared to the same period in 2019 (pre-COVID).

That’s nearly 5 dogs a day. 😔

The reasons are complex- ranging from housing instability and 💸 financial hardship to lifestyle changes and behavior issues in dogs that weren’t properly socialized during the pandemic.

But the outcome is the same: dogs losing their homes.
💔 Dogs don’t give up on their people.
🙏 Let’s not give up on them.
