Facts
- In the US about 2 million dogs get adopted a year and 3.1 million come to shelters.
- Shelters take in more than 135,000 and more than 65,000 are euthanized because they are not adopted.
- In the US ten percent of dogs get returned after getting adopted.
- In 2019 New Mexico had the highest rate with more than 3,200 surrenders per 100,000 inhabitants. The main reason why animals become strays is the owners will most likely give them up because they can't take care of the animal
