This is not a dog problem, this is a human problem.

Many dogs are not spayed and neutered, leading to an uncontrolled amount of unplanned litters with nowhere to go.

Inadequate animal welfare legislations and lack of enforcement of existing laws allows for irresponsible breeding and neglect to persist.

Many dogs are still bred intentionally for sale or show. These operations prioritize profit over the well-being of the dogs, leading to overpopulation, overbreeding and a large number of dogs in poor conditions.

Economic challenges, such as a lack of affordable housing that allow dogs, and rising vet bills lead to pet abandonment.

Many animal shelters and rescue organizations rely on donations and government funding. Limited financial resources hinder their ability to, hire qualified staff and provide necessary medical care.

Insufficient public awareness about the importance of spaying and neutering, adopting from shelters #adoptdontshop, and responsible pet ownership.
