There is an abundance of sad faces at the Genesee County Animal Shelter lately. The shelter that is home to over 300 lonely pets is facing not only overcrowding but also understaffing. Many of the cats and dogs are dropped off due to the economy, many people are facing hard economic times and can barely afford to take care of their own families, thus have chosen to give up their animals. Many of these pets are "ready to go," meaning they have been spayed/neutered, and declawed. According to a story on connectmidmichigan.com the shelter has been making room for the dozens of pets that are dropped off each day by euthanizing ones that have been there for some time already.
