I can't imagine what it must be like to do this work every day. I am a foster parent for the local animal shelter. My current foster I've had for almost 2 months now as I am rehabilitating him. We are lucky that we received grants and funding to make our city shelters no-kill shelters. But I recently saw a nearby county pleading for fosters and adopters to come take animals because they were full and going to have to start euthanizing. So terrible.
Thank you for the work that you do.
Maybe there is some kind of ceremony you and your co-workers could do, like going to a meadow or park or something and releasing balloons or something in honor of the dogs you could not save? Sort of like a funeral but just honoring their lives and giving closure?
