    Explain… what exactly, 10-15 years ago? Overcrowded animal shelters?

    Sure, you find the numbers on animal shelter capacity nationwide going back 20 years, divided up by breed, how many stayed how long, how many were refused etc…

    Was there an overcrowding of animal shelters 10 to 15 years ago, I dont even know.

    If there was, then well 10 to 15 years ago was the Housing Bubble / Financial Panic / Great Recession, so that would also make sense.

      Your weird ass rambling of economic collapse being a cause for dogs going to shelters or some nonsense…you seem like the type to hold a bullhorn and tell people their problems.
