94 dogs
224 cats
and a handful of smaller animals.
To say we are full is an understatement. To say our staff is beyond tired and struggling is an understatement. There are animals in every nook and cranny we can find. We have taken pride in our adoption success and high live release rate over the past several years, but we simply cannot keep up with the intake of animals at this point. Everyday we are seeing more animals coming in than we are able to send out.
Shelters across the country are in crisis. We are in crisis. The weight of such a high population is crushing. We are drowning and do not see an end to this.
We need community support and responsible pet ownership now more than ever.
How can you help?

Foster.
Spread the word about adoption.

We are begging for mercy.
