Our dog kennels are completely FULL and we urgently need to make space for incoming animals. As one of the only open-admission shelters in the state, our doors must remain open for sick pets, injured pets, and victims of abuse or neglect, but weโre stretched to our limit.
With over 120 dogs in our care and only 89 kennels, we are no longer able to provide the standard of care for housing and are urgently seeking your help to reduce our dog population in the shelter.
This has left us desperate to find loving homes and fosters for the animals in our care in order to accommodate those who still need our help.
Here are five ways you can help with this extreme overcrowding:
๐พ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ญ: Starting March 12th through March 17th, we are waiving adoption fees for adult dogs 2 years and older to create space to sustain our lifesaving operations.
There are so many wonderful dogs that can't wait to meet you ๐ View them here:

๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ: If adoption isn't an option right now, could you FOSTER? We're in desperate need of foster families for large-breed dogs to help us alleviate the overcrowding. Every temporary home makes a world of difference. Learn more about fostering here: https://www.thehumanesociety.org/get-involved/foster/

We can provide those who find lost pets with supplies such as food, kennels, leashes, and collars. If youโve lost or found an animal, visit our Lost/Found page to take the right steps. https://www.thehumanesociety.org/lost-and-found-pets/

๐พ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ญ๐: This sudden and unexpected emergency has put a massive strain on our resources. If you are able, please consider making a monetary gift now. By making a gift today, you'll ensure our team is able to help animals in need and continue assisting the animals who need us most. https://www.thehumanesociety.org/donate/
