We are sharing the Length of Stay - Urgent list today. We want to be transparent that our shelter is currently at full capacity, and we are reaching out for help from the community to find placement for these dogs by the close of business on Tuesday, June 30th. We are looking for adopters, fosters, or assistance from our rescue partners. Unfortunately, if these dogs do not leave by June 30th, they are at risk of euthanasia. Your support can make a difference.
