“But the staggering thing is that we brought back 102 unwanted animals, including about sixty-some kittens. That’s just from one clinic, and that’s just owner surrenders,” Davis adds. She says that cost of living — primarily housing, but also the cost of food — is the reason most frequently cited by owners who are surrendering their pets.
“It’s definitely on the uptick, and we’re hearing reasons we never heard before in the past," Davis notes."One woman had to surrender her dog because she lost her house and was moving into a hotel.” While the pandemic may have aggravated the situation, it didn't start it. In the region where Davis operates, inflation-related owner surrenders have “increased by maybe 5 percent," she says."Ninety-five percent of the hell we’ve been dealing with for the past ten years.", it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we'd like to keep it that way.
