"Since early this year shelters across the country started experiencing unprecedented overcrowding and now that the weather is getting colder the situation is getting dire," said Jeffrey Zerwekh, Executive Director at Berkeley Humane. "There are simply more animals coming in than adopters, which has created a crisis in every community and shelters are at capacity."
While the past several years have been incredibly challenging, the volunteers and staff at Berkeley Humane have found ways to overcome barriers presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and keep the doors open to adoption. This year Berkeley Humane will find loving homes for 1,000 dogs and cats, and the grant from BISSELL Pet Foundation reduces adoption fees and will go a long way toward helping achieve this goal.
"It has been a challenging year for our nation's animal shelters. The devastating increase in owner surrenders has left thousands of socialized, house-trained and leash-trained pets desperate to find a home," said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. "Our fall 'Empty the Shelters' will support the adoption of thousands of pets across the country, helping shelters in this critical time. Opening your home to a shelter pet saves a life and creates space to give another pet a chance."
