URGENT: We Need Emergency Fosters & Adopters NOW

Metro Animal Shelter is in crisis — we are severely over capacity and running out of time and space. We are doing everything in our power to avoid heartbreaking decisions, but we are legally obligated to act if space doesn’t open up soon.

We need your help. Right now.

If you’ve ever considered fostering or adopting, please don’t wait. Even one dog getting out means another gets a chance. We cannot stress this enough: lives depend on it.

HOW TO HELP:
• Make sure you have a current application on file at MetroAnimalShelter.org
• Visit us in person for a walk-through to meet adoptable dogs. We’re open 12pm–6pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Closed Wednesdays & Sundays.
• Not sure who’s available? Our website has current adoptable dogs listed — but we always recommend coming by to meet them face-to-face.

IMPORTANT:
The dogs pictured in this post are not available for foster or adoption yet. These are stray hold dogs we are currently trying to find space for — they represent the overwhelming number of lives we’re working to save.

Please, help us help them. Foster. Adopt. Share. Act now.
