SHELTERS OVERCROWDED. Animal shelters in Utah are packed with more animals coming in than going out. If things don't improve, even 'no kill' shelters will have some tough decisions to make.
This is in sharp contrast to their status at the height of the pandemic, when shelters were emptying out as people sheltering in place decided it was time to get a pet.West Valley City's Animal Services Director Melanie Bennett said just a few years ago they were so empty that they had to borrow prospective pets from other shelters.
West Valley City's shelter—which also serves Taylorsville—is so full that kennels that normally house one dog are now split in half to accommodate the overflow. "We are afraid a lot tried to supplement income during the pandemic by breeding. Now we are getting all these one and two-year-olds they can't keep anymore, and they are not able to get them homes," she added.
In 2021, Utah saw nearly a ten percent increase in the number of cats and dogs entering shelters, so Best Friends and shelters like that in West Valley City are begging people to choose adoption over shopping when seeking a pet.
