Feeling lonely or depressed? You might feel stressed and confused, perhaps even a little scared. This virus thing has got us all down. Especially since the weather has kept us inside most of the day. Some may be missing friends and family. I know I am, but at least I have lots to do to keep boredom from taking its toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The description above is how some of us are feeling right now, but it\u2019s a temporary thing. For a shelter animal, it\u2019s their reality, every day \u2013 and it feels like forever until they are adopted or fostered with a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animal shelters in our area are in desperate need for adopters, foster families and donations. Some have had to shorten their hours or close altogether. But the animals are still there. And they need us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worried about the coronavirus and having pets in your house? According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), \u201cAt this time, there is no evidence that companion animals, including pets, can spread COVID-19 or that they might be a source of infection in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So many dogs and cats that were originally living in shelters and found forever homes in our communities turned out to be such wonderful companion animals. Some gave back and became a nurturing part of our communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember Newton the therapy dog who visited the Sayre Personal Care Center and the Bradford County Manor? He also started a program for young readers at the Bradford County Library. He was originally a shelter dog at Animal Care Sanctuary (ACS) in East Smithfield, Pa. Who would have thought a shelter dog like Newton with such a horrible past would turn into a companion who made such an impact and a difference in the lives of so many.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A no-kill shelter for over 50 years, ACS just took in 24 dogs \u2013 16 under the age of one year – in need of homes. They are waiting right now for families who can give them a forever home or a foster situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wings of Rescue flew that litter of dogs to St. Hubert\u2019s Animal Welfare Center in Madison, N.J. from shelters in Louisiana and Mississippi. St. Hubert\u2019s then provided a van to transport them to ACS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe got a total of 40-some dogs when the flight came in,\u201d said Andrew Hyer, from St. Hubert\u2019s. \u201cWe kept 21 after bringing 24 here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hyer and ACS Director Joan Smith-Reese, dogs and cats are being euthanized even more now because most transports have come to a halt. It was St. Hubert\u2019s that initiated this transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that the most important thing during this scary time is that there\u2019s still animals out there that need homes,\u201d said Smith-Reese. \u201cWe\u2019re in the business of saving lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s so wonderful to see how people are helping each other in this time of crisis, but what about our shelter animals? They need us now more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
