We ve seen some surrenders due to people s financial situations. But in the beginning of the pandemic when a lot of people were home, they were able to come in and visit with our animals,” she said. “We did quite a few adoptions when it first started because people were able to get those animals to adjust to their living situations while they were home.

Animal abuse is humanity at its worst and often doesnt end well for the tormented animal. However, a six-week-old bundle of fur received a second chance after being set on fire in August.
The tiny gray kitten - its fur matted together and covered with dirt and possibly oil - was discovered in a local hotel parking lot and brought to the Clay County Humane Society.
Animals come through the shelter at least once a week abandoned, neglected, beaten, and abused animals, said Shelter Manager Lindsay Stevenson, who admits it is heartbreaking. Some weeks, theres usually more.
