The story of one shelter dog is calling attention to a bigger problem: a lack of housing and shelter for families experiencing homelessness who also have pets.
"We are a last resort for folks, and that is why we're here- as a last resort," said Julie McCabe, the director of Seattle Humane's Pet Resource Center.
McCabe said she is seeing pet surrenders every day, with many from families on the brink of homelessness or other housing issues.
"Tons of requests from people in really, really horrendous situations," McCabe said.
