Trump's Deportations Trigger Surge in Abandoned Pets Overwhelming US Shelters

Animal shelters are overwhelmed by the influx of stray and displaced pets left behind when families are detained or deported. Going forward, shelters may face ongoing strain and require additional support as immigration enforcement actions continue, exacerbating the issue of pet abandonment.
