“We need people to foster large dogs, they’re the ones that are at risk,” Barnes said. “We’re asking people that can foster to please contact us.”
The facility was at or over maximum capacity for most of 2022, Barnes said. More than 7,000 animals entered the shelter in 2021, and officials took in nearly 6,300 cats and dogs in the first 10 months of 2022, according to a city report.
Barnes urged pet lovers to visit the shelter and adopt or foster a shelter pet.
