November is Adopt-a-Senior Pet Month, and with the start of the holiday season, one local senior dog rescue is working to get more senior dogs a new home for the holidays.
'All of the shelters are pretty overcrowded right now, so we're in a place where we could really help them,' Muttville founder and CEO Sherri Franklin told CBS News Bay Area.Franklin began her senior dog rescue out of her home back in 2007. Today, she has a full team working with her and a brand-new San Francisco facility.'There's a lot of people that give up their dogs during the holidays,' Franklin said.
She added that overcrowded shelters are a growing crisis, especially when surrenders are high during the holiday season.'Muttvile took 119 dogs last year. That's a critical number, to remove from the facility, find homes, get them placed,' she said.All dogs that come through Muttville go through a general intake process, where they receive a new harness and spend some time in the Zen room. Afterwards, a veterinary on site examines the dogs. They also get a fresh grooming.
