Montgomery County Animal Care and Control requests help from the community again this holiday season. Shelters across the country receive a high volume of dog and cat intakes from January through March from individuals who give or get pets as gifts for Christmas and no longer want the responsibility of caring for them. People often seek new pets online, at pet stores, or from breeders during the holiday season.
Kaske urges people to take their time and think about the commitment before jumping in and bringing a pet into their home.
