How does the current economic climate effect The Anti-Cruelty Society?
For the past 110 years, The Anti-Cruelty Society has been a compassionate and reliable friend to the animals. And in these difficult economic times when we see companies and organizations are closing their doors, I am proud to say that The Anti-Cruelty Society remains strong. Because of the economic downturn, we’re seeing higher rates of surrendered pets, due to job loss and foreclosures. The Anti-Cruelty Society is here to help in these situations. Our adoption screening process educates potential pet owners about the costs of caring for a pet prior to adoption, so there are no surprises to first-time adopters. If a family is looking to relocate—and not just for reasons of foreclosure, but for normal life-changes as well, we provide lists of pet friendly housing options. If moving with a pet is simply not feasible, The Anti-Cruelty Society is always willing to accept the animal. With our open door policy, we are here to help.
