Frightened run-away pets wind up in shelters across the country, which fill beyond capacity in the days following the unofficial kickoff to summer, making it their busiest time of year.

“As an animal welfare worker (professionally or as a volunteer), you know what it feels like when you make a positive difference in the life of an animal. One day about 10 years ago, I was in the process of transporting quite a few dogs to a rescue from a high kill shelter. Thanks Cherie!
