Pet adoption and overpopulation

Dear Ohio - Politics, Issues, and People

State legislation requires all 88 counties to maintain a dog shelter, but in some instances, that is where the mandatory care for animals stops. Some people are hopeful, however, as individual municipalities are creating more animal care requirements and humane societies work for pet population control and humane treatment.

Guest host Mindy Drayer talks with Kellie Difrischia, Director of the Columbus Dog Connection; and Julie Mercer, of Pike Pet Pals, how the people of Ohio can help to care for pets across the state, how the cat overpopulation problem is "10 times worse" than dogs and how humane societies do not receive government funding.
