Leading registered sales associate Cindy Chiellini dedicates much of her personal time to her nonprofit organization, Brokendobe Rescue of South Carolina. Since Cindy Chiellini opened the shelter’s doors, more than 70 dogs have been rescued and placed in homes. Thanks to the work of shelters and animal welfare organizations, outcomes for shelter animals have greatly improved over the past decade.
The combination of numerous spay and neutering campaigns, increased awareness of animal behaviors, and the rise of no-kill shelters, shelter-surrendered animals are more likely to be adopted than euthanized. Low-cost spay clinics have also significantly reduced the number of unwanted animals.
On the other end, a growing awareness of the plight of shelter animals has driven the demand to adopt rather than buy pets. In an effort to help animals find homes, no-kill shelters now often send pets across state lines. In this way, states with larger shelter animal populations can find homes in areas with a higher demand for adoptions.
