March has been a baby boom month. All the pregnant guinea pigs have now given birth. We now have the task of finding very good homes for them all, which isn't easy. Most people won't have safe accommodation for the animals to live in. It feels like a constant battle.
March we saw 19 intakes and 11 adoptions.

Re: Marias Animal Shelter April update
It has been a hive of activity at the shelter. The weather has warmed up so we have started trimming hair and bathing the guinea pigs and trying to get on top of grooming the rabbits.\
19 new incoming animals and 16 adoptions.

Re: Marias Animal Shelter July 2024 update
It has been a very stressful month. We are short of staff, volunteers and money and to make it worse, have a hug waiting list of animals to come in. We cannot take any more animals until we have space, so it is all a vicious circle.
Incoming animals are 15, adoptions 19 and 1 put to sleep.

Re: Marias Animal Shelter September 2024 update
A very difficult month for us. We had to deal with a hoarding case where there was 143 animals living in a 1 bedroom house. Until we actually went to the house to help a small amount of animals, we didn't know how bad the situation was and realised, as soon as we stepped into the property that we had to take all of the small animals with us. They would not have survived for very much longer.
