Animal shelter celebrates as kennels empty out before Christmas

Animal shelter celebrates as kennels empty out before Christmas

An animal shelter is celebrating adopting out all their dogs in time for Christmas.

A devastating number of animals are euthanised each year, as shelters do not have the space or resources for all of them. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, an estimated 2.7 million animals are put down each year.

Luckily, the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region Animal Shelter in Colorado are celebrating a very rare occurrence: All their kennels are empty!

The shelter announced that they had adopted out all their animals two days in a row, as a result of a #HomeForTheHolidays promotion where adoption fees for cats and dogs over the age of five are waived, between the 18th and the 31st December.
