SUMMARY:Best Friends National Adoption Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Charleston Animal Society is partnering with Best Friends Animal Society\, a leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of cats and dogs in shelters by 2025\, for the fifth National Adoption Weekend happening June 30-July 2. \nRecent data released by Best Friends showed that in 2022\, 57% of shelters in the U.S. were no-kill\, but 378\,000 dogs and cats were killed nationally largely due to a continued decrease in dog adoptions compared to pre-pandemic rates.\nShelters across the country are experiencing an increase in animal populations and adoption rates aren’t keeping pace\, resulting in overflowing kennels. That’s why Best Friends Animal Society\, and nearly 600 shelter and rescue partners have joined together for the national event. By adopting a unique and loveable shelter pet\, two lives are saved – that of the adopted cat or dog\, and another that can now take their space in the shelter. \n“We are excited to host our fifth National Adoption Weekend\, encouraging the community to add a new pet to their home this summer\,” said Julie Castle\, CEO\, Best Friends Animal Society. “These warmer months can see some of the highest intakes in shelters\, so it’s critical the shelter staff and volunteers have the support they need from the community. If you can\, please adopt and foster. And if you already have pets\, make sure they’re microchipped and spayed/neutered.”
