You don’t need a perfect schedule or a pet-free home to help out. The shelters are working with folks to match dogs with all kinds of households.

Since mid-November, 44 special cases have been treated, each costing about $500. If you’re home for the holidays, consider taking a shelter dog out for a day or even making a donation.
