Animal Shelter

Across the country, animal shelters are finding themselves in need of support as they continue to deal with overcrowding, a problem that many pet rescues in Idaho are familiar with.

According to recent reporting, shelters are at capacity, especially on reservations with underfunded infrastructure. And climate change is compounding the problem.

As 2024 gets underway, animal shelters across America are continuing to see an increase in pet surrenders, especially when it comes to dogs, and Idaho is no different.

Animal Shelters in Wyoming have seen an increase in surrenders and stray animals in the past year leading to high-capacity issues. Recently, a University of Florida report found that in many places, this high capacity is due to the decrease in spay and neuter surgeries during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in Wyoming, there's more to it than just that.

People rushed out to adopt pets early on in the pandemic. But now shelters are filling to capacity. New research from the University of Florida suggests spay and neuter access plays a role.
