The Tacoma-Pierce County Humane Society says that so far this year, 212 companion animals are coming through their doors every day – from stray cats and lost dogs from animal control to people who need to surrender their pets.
That’s exactly what Torie Brannen did after hearing about the shelter’s situation.
“I just adopted Crackers. She’s a little kitten,” Brannen said. “I’ve been wanting to adopt a cat for a long time and I got a little teary in there just thinking about it. Their shelters were really full and it just seemed like a sign.” The shelter is currently working on a campaign to clear out the shelter by offering deep discounts on the traditional pet adoption fees that can cost hundreds of dollars. Until the end of August, adopting an adult cat costs $25, and an adult dog $50.
Lindsey Heaney says the effort is bringing in many families, which is already starting to help. But their shelter is still bursting at the seams. “Usually we’re able to have 300 animals, and we’re caring for over 700. So thankfully, we have a lot of foster homes to help out with that,” Heaney said.is over capacity rn. They’re seeing a surge of people surrendering pets.You can help by adopting, donating, fostering, volunteering! 💙
