Dog Flint urgently is looking for a loving home - overwhelming the owners!

Bochum, Deutschland - In Cologne, the discussion about animal shelter taxes is getting louder. More and more pet owners are facing the difficult decision to hand over their beloved four -legged friends to an animal shelter. The Bochum animal shelter has published the sad story of Flint, a five -year -old mixed breed. He was given by his previous owners because they were overwhelmed with his behavior. Flint had insufficiently socialized in his former home, which led to problematic behaviors that now need to be processed in the shelter. So he has to learn again to move in society and to better understand his placement in the hierarchical order. Despite his difficulties, Flint has great learning potential and is waiting for a new, loving home where he receives the necessary support he needs to develop.

The reasons why animals like Flint end up in the shelter are diverse. Family changes, financial bottlenecks, the owners or even sudden allergies are just a few of the most common causes. In some cases, the purchase of a dog or a cat is stimulated and is not sufficiently thought out, as explained in an article on FOCUS Statistics show that around 300,000 animals end up in animal shelters in Germany. This makes it clear that many people have not extensively dealt with when deciding on a pet with the challenges that attitude brings.

a vicious circle of overpopulation

The overpopulation of pets is a serious problem that can be observed in Germany and worldwide. According to estimates, around 6.9 million dogs and 11.5 million cats live in Germany. These figures, which are based on information from animal shelter directory , reflect the difficulty of finding suitable places for all animals that have to be accommodated in animal shelters. Often the reasons for the submission of animals are not only the financial aspects that can be felt in many owners, but also unpredictable living conditions such as moves or personal crises.

Another often forgotten point is that many holders have unrealistic expectations of their pets. These false assumptions mean that many people are overwhelmed and lose patience, causing animals like flint to end up in animal shelters. Supportable measures such as courses on species -appropriate attitude or offers for advice could help improve the situation and to clear up misunderstandings.

from the shelter to the new home

For animals that land like Flint in the shelter, the way to the new home is often not easy. Before an animal can be conveyed to a new home, it is examined, vaccinated and chipped. A submission fee or donation is common, and so -called "familiar objects" such as ceilings or toys can often be given to make the transition easier. This step forms the beginning of a new chapter for Flint and many of his animal roommates who are only waiting to be taken by loving holders.

It remains to be hoped that the number of pet taxes will drop through more information and support and that many animals will find the luck of finding a new home in which they are loved and well looked after.
