This has been an unprecedented year for all of us. There has not been one person on our planet who’s life has not been affected in some way by COVID-19. When every human is affected by a catastrophe the animals that count on people to care for them can also find themselves in dire situations.
Our industry had many warnings for us at different times during this pandemic, and not one of them came to fruition. We were warned to expect mass surrenders. We were told that those who adopted animals at the beginning of the pandemic would just return the animals when things began to reopen. None of those things happening would be a good thing if things that were NOT predicted occurred instead.
MADACC has seen a decrease in intakes this year, mostly in the number of dogs we have taken in. However, what we have seen is an increase in the number of animals with serious to catastrophic medical needs that were brought in as strays or found abandoned and in urgent need of medical care. On top of that, we also experienced a significant decrease in other shelters taking transfers from MADACC due to quarantine and best practices for staff safety.
This has put an incredible strain on our staff. We have had to manage multiple serious medical cases simultaneously. We have had to expand the scope of services that we provide to animals that come in every day, including more long term medical foster care, specialty surgeries that we have never done before, and doubling our capacity to provide foster care for the hundreds of orphaned kittens born outside.
We have been able to stretch our tangible resources in terms of volunteers, fosters, and staff multi-tasking to take care of every animal that needs us. We have saved animals that had been caught in a running car engine, animals that have had intestinal blockages or limbs that were shattered or hanging on by threads of skin.
This Giving Tuesday we are asking that you help us continue to provide this level of care as we move forward for every animal that needs it.
We are in need of donations to our Animal Medical Fund to continue to provide the supplies we need for lifesaving surgeries. We are in need of food for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. We need fosters, not just for young kittens, but for older animals to recover from medical treatment. Fosters for hospice for animals that deserve to be in a loving home even for a short time so they know love and warmth for every minute they have left.
MADACC is so much more than the local pound. We have evolved into a first class care facility. A place that the animals in our community absolutely deserve thanks to the investment of our municipalities and supporters. We continue to grow and provide as more people learn about the wonderful work we do here and with your help will continue to do for many more years to come.
