We here at Rescued Mutts live in New England — Connecticut to be specific. We don’t have a have a huge stray dog population (now feral cats are another matter). Even our most crowded, inner-city shelters typically do a very good job of finding foster/adoptive homes for the dogs that walk through their doors. (Check out the City of Hartford Animal Shelter’s Facebook page for a great example.)
