As an open-admission county municipal shelter, we cannot simply stop the intake of stray animals. All animals who have passed their hold times are at immediate risk once their hold time is up. Firm commitments with pickup dates are urgently needed to prevent euthanasia. We have many dogs whose times are EXPIRED. They face the very gut-wrenching but unfortunately real risk of euthanasia if they’re not pulled by rescue as soon as possible.
Please highly, highly consider tagging the below EXTRA URGENT DOGS. Ask us if you’d like a video or any other specific info we can provide on a particular one. I’m working on making so I’m able to provide both a full body and headshot for all.
We are VERY, VERY THANKFUL for our rescue partners!!
