Beyond the Numbers
The calculation doesn’t end there. Traditional shelters bear the weight of an unfortunate reality – euthanasia. A heart-wrenching 20% of cats and 12% of dogs face euthanasia due to overcrowding and limited resources (referenced from the RSPCA website). In stark contrast, Into Loving Homes holds an unlimited capacity, ensuring every animal has the chance to find a loving home. No donations go toward euthanasia.

Note: We believe shelters to be incredibly important in assisting the rehabilitation and rehoming of animals who are homeless. If they have a home to be adopted from, then we believe they should be adopted via this Home-to-Home adoption service leaving space and funds available in shelters for the animals who truly need it.
