pets in the
United States and only
20% of them were
adopted from shelters
or rescues

and 8 Million
animals
enter into
shelters
every year

5. Some of us
have a more
difficult time
finding a
home

6. Black Cats & Dogs
are the most
overlooked in
shelters and are
twice as likely not
to ever find
homes

those of us that look
a little different still
have a lot of love to
give

8. Unfortunately
3.5 to 4 million
animals are
euthanized
each
year

usually less
costly and we

unconditionally
and provide you
with
companionship
and reduce
loneliness

are plenty of other ways you
can help an animal in need

13. Volunteer at
a shelter or
