Adoption rates have fallen dramatically at Pet Circle Regional Animal Center, with a significant decrease of 302 adoptions compared to the same time last year. This decline is putting a strain on the shelter, which is currently overcapacity. A donation-based food pantry is also struggling, with limited resources.
The shelter is feeling the impacts of a nationwide trend of slowing pet adoptions, largely due to rising costs of owning a pet. Economic strain and living restrictions are thought to be contributing factors.
Further details on the situation at Pet Circle Regional Animal Center are available, including a video report and comments from a senior public information specialist.
