Straw Pays has gone as far as Memphis, TN to take in animals located in kill shelters. Organizations similar to Stray Paws work with these pounds so when they have overfill, the shelters can take in the animals up for euthanization. Pounds can be kill shelters because once they hit capacity they have to find room for the incoming animals.
So we’re seeing so many dogs and cats right now that the rescues can’t keep up.” “What we were seeing is a lot of the dogs that were adopted during COVID are being returned, because people are going back to work. “There are so many out there right now that need to be rescued, but all the rescues are so full this year,” Stray Paws President Linda Roever said. Stray Paws is a no-kill animal shelter that takes in cats and dogs that are unwanted or in unsafe situations. “But there is no denying seeing a very shutdown animal and then you work with it, and actually it’s usually my other animals that do more to bring that animal out of its shell, to know that it’s safe, to be fun and silly.” “It’s hard to know what they’ve come from and a lot of times we assume the worst,” Mandy Mankin, Stray Paws volunteer of 13 years said. When cats and dogs are rescued from these situations, they could be placed in the local pound or picked up by a rescue group like Stray Paws. They can be born on the side of the road or be neglected by the family that was supposed to care for them. Much like people, animals don’t always get a great start to the world.
