I am a volunteer for my local animal shelter.  Unfortunately, this is a "KILL" shelter.  There were more than 300 animals euthanized in this shelter in the past year alone.  That is statistically one or more than one a day.  These animals are killed due to people not adopting them, health issues, and lack of room.  Please ask your U.S. officials and local government to supply more funding for these shelters to ensure expansions, vet-care, food, bath tubs, and all hygiene supplies.  Please note that the picture is from the shelter that I volunteer at.  The dogs are in worse condition.
