“What happens when your last available dog gets adopted? Your staff and volunteers jump into the kennels to celebrate!” one happy animal shelter staff member posted on Monday. The Humane Society Of The Pikes Region in Colarado launched a very successful adoption campaign titled “Bring Them Home For The Holidays”. They made sure adoption fees are waived on all cats and dogs 5 years and up, for the period starting 18 December through New Year’s Eve. This made it more attractive for those considering adopting a pooch or a kitty, and gave pets a Christmas miracle of a loving forever home. This is something to celebrate indeed, knowing that 31 percent of dogs in shelters end up being euthanized.
According to the shelter, they adopted out 25 cats and 23 dogs as of Monday, but the kindhearted staff and volunteers won’t be stopping anytime soon. “We’ll have more dogs available later tonight or tomorrow. Keep those adoptions coming!”.

I’m so glad to see that all of the dogs and cats found a home. :) It also must be a large animal shelter because there are a lot of employees and volunteers in the picture. :) But the fact that 31 percent of the dogs were euthanized is disgusting number to hear, I know that the employees and volunteers probably tried their best to find the animals homes, but 31 percent is to close to 1/2 (50%) for me. I think that people should look into an animal shelter before they go looking for breaded (and sometimes inbred) pets online. No matter what religion or beliefs a person might have probably over 99% of us can agree ALL life is precious and must be preserved.

More like 1 out of 3 are euthanized, but I agree its sad. I'm not sure about other states, but when adopting from a shelter where I live, its state law that the pet is neutered are spayed. Keeping strays from breeding helps solve the issue too, and a lot of pet owners are irresponsible when that comes to that, which perpetuates so many issues.

They aren't being negative about the fact that the animals got adopted though. They are simply stating facts. All they are saying is lets hope these animals keep getting adopted
