US EditionDear Abby: Wife’s animal rescue dream has turned her into a pet hoarder
- The letter writer described his household to Dear Abby, stating he and Muriel have been together for 10 years and married for seven, with 21 pets.
- The wife, Muriel, has spent much of her life in rescue work and thinks she has to save them all, while the letter writer searched for support groups but found none and says Muriel won’t admit there is a problem.
- The columnist urged the husband to explain the situation to city or county animal control, noting the animals deserve a better standard of care than Muriel can give them.
- The writer says neighbors might notice or report the situation, and the letter writer says family functions have become very awkward while the columnist noted this is happening more and more.
- Because Muriel resists acknowledging a problem, the letter writer faces repeated barriers as no explanation of financial and other consequences gets through to her.
