In a world where many pets find their forever homes, millions still languish in shelters, waiting for a second chance. The truth is, animal shelters are often overwhelmed, underfunded, and in desperate need of support. Let's explore why shelters need our help and how TarotPet is stepping up to make a difference.

The Current State of Animal Shelters

Animal shelters across the United States are facing unprecedented challenges. According to the latest data from the World Animal Foundation, almost 6.5 million animals enter shelters annually, including 3.2 million dogs and 3.3 million cats. While adoption rates have improved, with about 4.1 million animals finding homes each year, the number of animals entering shelters still outpaces the number of those leaving​.

One of the starkest statistics is the euthanasia rate. In recent years, hundreds of thousands of animals were euthanized, with more dogs and cats entering shelters than leaving​. This increase in non-live outcomes is a clear indicator of the urgent need for community support and intervention.

Why Shelters Need Financial Support

1. Overcrowding: Shelters often operate at or beyond capacity. Overcrowding leads to increased stress among animals, higher rates of illness, and, tragically, more euthanasia to make space for incoming animals.

2. Medical Care: Many animals arriving at shelters require immediate medical attention. From vaccinations to treating injuries and illnesses, the costs can quickly add up. Without sufficient funds, many shelters struggle to provide necessary care.

3. Daily Operations: Running a shelter involves significant daily expenses, including food, utilities, and staff wages. Many shelters rely heavily on donations and grants, which are not always sufficient to cover these costs.

4. Behavioral Support: Animals that exhibit behavioral issues due to past traumas need training and rehabilitation to become adoptable. Providing this support requires resources that many shelters simply don’t have.
