Now shelters are turning away surrenders because there is just no space available, leaving the owners to instead abandon their pets in the streets, hoping someone will take them in or animal control will pick them up as strays. I do rescue here in the bay area and we simply can't keep up with the exponential increase of cats and dogs left homeless or abandoned. Everyday, my heart breaks anew with each homeless dog or cat we have to turn away because there just aren't enough homes for them.

"with tears" It must be extremely difficult for you to see this. It's difficult just hearing about it.
