Animal shelter over cargo

Animal Shelter more and more animals are brought in, but not sufficient are being placed in good homes. Workers at the shelter say both the economy and the recent weather are to blame. There are over 70 animals in all. Cats, dogs and birds abandoned or surrendered by their previous owners, all needing loving homes. Only 20 animals have been adopted. The shelter is now beseeching for the public's help.


Shelter workers say the over crowding has gotten so bad that as of Saturday morning only 7 cat cages were obtainable. On one day the shelter took in an overwhelming 16 cats within a half an hour. The animal rescue league prides itself on not turning away any Pets animal in need. Anna Vinacco who works at the shelter says many owners can no longer afford to keep their pets. Whatever the reason-- these fuzzy faces need help and a place to call home instead of a home inside a cage.
