    Did you know there are additional 245,000 pets in the system this holiday season? Data is from Shelter Animals Count. Our rescue pup Bella Stella is helping us raise awareness about homeless animals. We're running a contest to guess her breed. Contest winner will be chosen randomly. Other key figures from Shelter Animals Count:

    ➡️ "Nearly 90% of survey respondents said they're receiving puppies from their communities.

    ➡️ More than 60% of respondents said they're receiving doodles and other intentional mixed breeds.

    ➡️ Almost half (44%) said they're getting more purebreds.

    ➡️ More than half (54%) said they're getting "leftover" puppies/litters from breeders who can't sell them.

    ➡️ Nearly 60% said they're receiving surrenders (or surrender requests) of dogs that people say they paid a lot of money for and now can't afford to keep."
