Animal shelters across the country have had to close their doors as part of the effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Fearing the arrival of new litters and abandoned animals with no one to adopt them, they are racing to empty kennels before they are forced to resort to euthanasia.
“Every industry in the world right now is going through a massive disruption, and animal sheltering and animal rescues are no exception to that,” says Julie Castle, the chief executive officer of Best Friends Animal Society, an advocacy group that works with more than 3,000 shelters.
Many of these shelters have moved into crisis mode.
