TL;DR
Hounds Town USA is helping pets in need by fostering them and providing temporary housing for shelter animals during the COVID-19 crisis. The doggie daycare franchise stepped up to help local shelters find housing for these shelter pets through its Fresh Air Fund.
According to the Long Island Patch, Hounds Town USA is helping pets in need by fostering them. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States, staff at shelters has been reduced in order to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Due to this, many animals are in need of new temporary homes in order to receive proper care. Hounds Town USA, a doggie daycare franchise, stepped up to help local shelters in the quest to find housing for these shelter pets.
"Through the Hounds Town USA's Fresh Air Fund, these dogs who would otherwise be riding out a quarantine will have a chance at some fun, relaxation, behavior training and socialization. We also help alleviate the workforce burden on the shelters," said Melanie Heicklen, an account manager who works with Hounds Town USA.
