Under NC Shelter Regulations, if an owner signs the surrender paperwork, the shelter is legally permitted to euthanize the animal immediately if they lack the space to house it.
https://www.ncleg.gov/.../ByS.../Chapter_19A/GS_19A-32.1.pdf
Over 6,800 dogs are euthanized immediately after intake via owner surrender EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. It’s estimated that roughly 6,300 of those dogs were surrendered simply because their family hit economic hardship.
Let that sink in. Roughly six THOUSAND dogs are killed each year simply because the family that loved them couldn’t feed them.
YOU can be the difference between someone losing their best friend and a dog being able to stay with the people that love them. YOU can be the difference between life and death.
Prevent just one dog from becoming a statistic. Donate a bag of dog food.
Rescuing animals isn’t just about pulling them from shelters; sometimes it’s about preventing them from being there in the first place.
