Shelter Full at Harford Humane Society

The Humane Society of Harford County issued a plea Wednesday to those considering adopting a pet.

The shelter in Fallston is at capacity, with up to four dogs sharing a kennel, according to a statement from the organization.

“If you’ve been thinking of adding a furry friend to your family, now is the time,” Humane Society of Harford County Executive Director Jen Swanson said.

There are 21 kennels at the shelter, all of which have been filled, and the holding area for sick and stray dogs is full as well, the statement said.

People can fill out adoption applications online and bring them in to expedite the process.

Rescue groups with a copy of their federal 501(c)3 certificates are invited to come and scoop up animals as well, including cats and kittens.
