Petition: Help Increase Federal Funding for Animal Shelters Across the United States

Imagine the hopeful eyes of countless dogs and cats, once cherished companions, now facing uncertain futures within the crowded walls of shelters across America. Four years into the pandemic, this is the reality for millions of homeless animals. The initial surge of pet adoptions has reversed into a surge of abandonments, leaving shelters overcrowded and under-resourced. The financial difficulties many Americans face, compounded by the rising costs of pet care, have turned our shelters into overwhelmed refuges for abandoned pets.

Please sign this petition to urge Congress to increase federal funding for animal shelters across the United States!
