Comments on: Animal Hoarding Investigation in Maricopa https://sedonaeye.com/animal-hoarding-investigation-in-maricopa/ Local News From All Points of View Sun, 10 Jul 2011 00:51:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 By: Harley McGuire https://sedonaeye.com/animal-hoarding-investigation-in-maricopa/comment-page-1/#comment-7633 Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:51:29 +0000 https://sedonaeye.com/?p=14191#comment-7633 We must also praise our local Humane Societies and volunteers for the work they do. When Mommy takes me to the Sunset Park we most always see kind two leggers giving of their time and kindness to walk doggies from the Sedona Humane Society. Bless you one and all. I’m an only child and like it that way, I guess, but Mom mostly thinks I’m a handful so I don’t think I’ll be getting a brother or sister. Those who take on too many are more of a problem than a solution. Please remember that.

Lovingly,
Harley McGuire

I’m a researcher for the series Confessions: Animal Hoarding, currently airing on Animal Planet that tells the stories of people overwhelmed by the number of pets they own. The problem is on the rise and affect communities across America.

If you are concerned about the health of animals in someone’s care and suspect they may be hoarding them, we might be able to help.

Most animal hoarders don’t see themselves as hoarders, and sometimes don’t intentionally collect animals. Their relationship with their animals has threatened their relationships with friends and family.

Most of these situations aren’t dealt with until they become criminal. This results in animals being euthanized by over-stressed shelters, and doesn’t address the underlying psychological issues – meaning nearly 100% of people end up in the same situation again.

We are dedicated to finding comprehensive long-term solutions and believe therapy to be key to this. We can bring in experts to help people and their pets.

If you or someone you know needs help because animals have overrun their life, visit http://www.animalhoardingproject.com to learn more and submit their story. Alternatively, contact me directly at help@animalhoardingproject.com or toll-free at 1 -877-698-7387.

We will treat all submissions with confidentiality and respect.
