I REMEMBER TAPIR SAYING THAT BEFORE COVID THEY WERE BASICALLY WINNING THE SHELTER WAR AND THERE WAS A VERY REAL HOPE THAT THEY COULD GET EVERYTHING BUTTONED DOWN TO ZERO -- MOST DOGS SANS VERY SPECIFIC CASES ARE OWNED IN PRIVATE HOMES

THE THEORY AT THE TIME WAS PUPPY MILL OVERPRODUCTION

AFTER COVID IT TURNED OUT -- NO, ITS PRIVATE HOMES BREEDING SHITBULS IN THEIR BACKYARD FOR EXTRA CASH AND FLOODING THE FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE WITH COVID PUPPIES

AND NOW THE SHELTER WAR IS ALL BUT LOST BECAUSE AT THREE MONTHS OLD THEY BEGIN MANIFESTING THE BEHAVIORAL TRAITS OF THEIR BREED AND WOOPSIE DOOPSIE POOPSIE
