Pets' fates uncertain as owners deported by ICE

Pets are increasingly being abandoned or surrendered to animal shelters across the US due to their owners being detained or deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This influx is causing severe overcrowding in shelters, which are already struggling with staff shortages and declining adoption rates, raising concerns about animal welfare and potential euthanasia. Animal rescue organisations, including those in South Florida and Nashville, report a significant rise in pets from owners impacted by immigration crackdowns, a situation they were unprepared for. Specific instances include pets left behind in Los Angeles and New York City, with some animals found severely neglected after their owners were apprehended. The Department of Homeland Security says that ICE does not impound property, leaving the animals' fates uncertain.

Golf Rose Animal Services hosts Bark at the Park at Wintrust Field for Schaumburg Boomers game

Animal rescue Golf Rose Animal Services is hosting a Bark at the Park event at Wintrust Fields to celebrate four-legged friends and make people aware of animals looking for their forever homes. The organization is a stray hold facility that partners with local organizations help unclaimed animals find forever homes. They came to CBS News Chicago with Evelyn, a pit bull fond as a stray in Schaumburg. She's estimated to be between two and four years old and is a calm, affectionate and eager-to-please dog looking for a home with either another calm dog or as a solo companion to someone willing to offer her plenty of love (and some booty scratches, too). The Bark at the Park event will be held Sunday, Aug. 10 at 1 p.m. at Wintrust Field in Schaumburg. The pet-friendly game between the Schaumburg Boomers and the New York Boulders will also have pre-game catch on the field and post-game autographs. You can get your tickets at
