BURTONSVILLE, Md. (WJLA) — Puppy adoptions were through the roof during the pandemic and now, a mass surrender is happening at a Montgomery County animal rescue.

Amy Creel, President of Knine Rescue, said “this has been an unprecedented time, we have never seen anything like this before."

Creel has been the President of Knine Rescue since 2005 and stated she and her staff are experiencing a massive overflow of pregnant dogs being surrendered.

“We are getting requests everyday to take pregnant or nursing moms” Creel explained.
Creel's theory is that it’s related to the pandemic. She explained that it’s hard to get vet appointments for spay and neuter which is creating a mass ripple effect.

1. I knew this would happen

All of those poor animals adopted for 'entertainment' now being pushed away.

2. After a 20+ year friendship I just told this friend that our friendship was over and it was

all because of the way she treated her horse. If you can not or will not treat animals humanely you can not be a friend of mine and I will not waste time with you. The humane treatment of an animal must be the priority of any friend of mine.
