Struggling Economy Contributes to Influx of Dogs Being Put Up for Adoption

Article mentioning Elmbrook Humane Society and growing dog adoptees

Excerpt from report by Elizabeth Blewett of Milwaukee Dog Rescue Examiner:

Milwaukee has undeniably felt the effects of the suffering national economy.... The stressful economy has often forced people to give up their pets to local shelters because of financial inability to care for them. 

Rachel Coolbroth, a member of Elmbrook Humane Society, validated this assumption stating, “More dogs are definitely being put up for adoption. The economy is definitely a factor. Lots of people are losing jobs and the shelters are becoming more crowded.”
