Shelters Overflowing in Upstate NY

Shelters across upstate New York are bursting at the seams, with places like Lollypop Farm and the Humane Society of Greater Rochester housing nearly 100 dogs—many in foster care, but kennels overflowing. The crisis? Housing insecurity and soaring vet costs are forcing owners to surrender pets, while a critical vet shortage (down to just two vets where four are needed) has halted services for rescue partners. Large dogs face the toughest adoption hurdles due to rental restrictions and insurance woes. The call to action? Adopt, don’t shop—every animal deserves a loving home, and it’s up to the community to make it happen. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
