RE: How would you solve the problem of 2.7 million dogs + cats getting euthanized every year here in the USA?

adopt don't shop! more strict adoption policies - it's very easy to rescue a dog regardless of your financial situation which i think leads to a lot of dogs in shelters without homes.

How would you implement stricter adoption policies at the shelters? That's a tough one because I am not sure they do a super good job at vetting because of the desperation to move animals out.

it would definitely be difficult they definitely don't do a good job at vetting and I have experienced this first hand - my dog ended up having genetic issues that weren't apparent until months after I adopted her but luckily her rescue gave me $500 toward her $5k surgery. its definitely a tough battle
