The animals live in inadequate space conditions

Animals must live in decent space conditions. Thus, animal shelters should provide them with large cages so they can have space to play and run and the staff should walk them every time they need to defecate. 

“Animals should be housed in double-sided cages or there should be enough volunteers or staff present to take them out for bathroom breaks two to three times per day, plus exercise,” said Dr. Hansen. 

Outdoor space is also essential. “Whether through outdoor runs and/or adequate time outside of their kennels within play yards or out on a walk,” he said. 

As we said before, animals need space to avoid the apparition of kennel stress and these rescue shelters should meet their needs.
