## Resource

Animal hoarding is exploding across Pennsylvania, with shelters like York County SPCA reporting record-breaking cases—once rare, now happening every other week. Dozens to even seventy-five animals are being rescued from overcrowded homes. Experts point to economic strain, underfunded animal services, pandemic-era pet influxes, and mental health struggles as key drivers. Many hoarders start with good intentions—lonely seniors seeking companionship or well-meaning rescuers who get overwhelmed. Shelters stress compassion over judgment, urging people to reach out for help and emphasizing spaying/neutering as the top prevention tool. If you’re struggling, don’t stay silent—support is available. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
