Shelter closing during pandemic

A popular animal rescue agency in Washington state is closing its doors at the end of this month as donations wane due to the pandemic. Sunny Sky’s Animal Rescue is shuttering its business in Puyallup because they were forced to close their facility during quarantine, and attempts to obtain a loan to keep them afloat were fruitless.

The rescue organization operated out of a veterinary clinic on East Main, but the business will forever remain closed. Jessica Mele, who works at the business, tells King 5 News, “It is really sad to have to do that, but unfortunately, there is just a snowball effect.”

Now the focus is shifting to the need for foster homes for the cats and dogs currently in the organization’s care. The rescue group alerted supporters of the change on its website, writing:

Due to the stay at home order, we have made the decision to close our hospital. If you’re a current patient of the hospital please click here.

During these next few months our shelter will be making some changes to the way we operate. We will be switching over to a foster based rescue. Although we will no longer have a physical shelter where you can visit and see the animals we will still be processing adoptions.

Donations to help the rescue group keep helping animals can be made directly to its website here.
