Animal shelters are facing a surge in animals, leading to overcrowding and limited resources. This issue is partly driven by the location of the animals, with certain regions having a higher number of animals in need of adoption. Many shelters are under-resourced and over-capacity, resulting in a wait for adoption that can be fatal for some animals.

Experts believe that homes are available for these animals, but they are not in the same location as the shelters. Further information on this issue and potential solutions can be found through InvestigateTV+.
