Fluorescent bulbs light up the glossy floors and glass windows that line an empty hallway. There’s a sharp smell of disinfectant in the air and a muffled, but insistent barking behind the glass. There’s a shadow of movement in the first window. A stainless steel water bowl lies in the corner of the cage and a few pieces of kibble sit in another bowl off to the side. The tip of a mangled bone is barely noticeable under a thin blue blanket that rests on top of a square bed.
Animals Wait for Loving Homes at Humane Society of Weld County
You d be hard-pressed to find someone who is enjoying the pandemic.that is, unless animals could talk.
Our furry friends have been relishing in the extra downtime with their humans and that includes the animals at the Humane Society of Weld County.
