Amazing Dog Parks you Must Visit with your Pooch

When it comes to planning a vacation with a pooch, dog parents wish to visit places that cater to their fur child’s needs. But sadly, there aren’t many places that are as welcoming to dogs as humans. Therefore, many paw-parents are forced to go on vacation without their fluffy baby or not go at all. As unfair as it sounds, America’s travel and tourism sector doesn’t have enough recreational spaces for dogs. However, some dog-loving entities have taken the initiative to build areas for entertaining dogs. Thanks to them, the dearth of welcoming recreational facilities for dogs is starting to fill up to some extent. Even though not all of those facilities are of the same caliber, but all of them offer ample space and entertainment avenues for pups of all shapes and sizes.

Facts About Animal Homelessness:

  1. Only 1 out of every 10 dogs born will find a permanent home.
  2. The main reasons animals are in shelters: owners give them up, or animal control finds them on the street.
  3. Each year, approximately 2.7 million dogs and cats are killed every year because shelters are too full and there aren’t enough adoptive homes. Act as a publicist for your local shelter so pets can find homes. Sign up for Shelter Pet PR.
  4. Approximately 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.9 million are dogs and 3.4 million are cats.
  5. According to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP), less than 2% of cats and only 15 to 20% of dogs are returned to their owners.
  6. 25% of dogs that enter local shelters are purebred.
  7. About twice as many animals enter shelters as strays compared to the number that are relinquished by their owners.
  8. It’s impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the United States. Estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million.
