The view around me, was what I hoped were walls, and not rushing winds carrying…
Animal shelters are sheltering facilities designated for animals that have been lost, abandoned, or found on the streets. PETA has conducted research that “approximately six to eight million animals are handled by animal shelters each year in the U.S” (1).

The lack of people adopting from shelters has created an issue of…
