Animal shelters across the Bay Area are bursting at the seams. Some are so overcrowded, they’re offering dogs for free. And on top of that, it’s kitten season.
“So everyday we’re getting litters of kittens in need of help,” said Tara Davis of the San Jose Animal Care Center.Now the shelter is waiving all adoption fees through the end of next month to try and get more animals adopted.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
“We have about 814 animals currently in care in the shelter, our capacity is less than half of that,” said David. “We’re way over capacity.” The situation is just as dire in Oakland. Animal services director Ann Dunn wrote in a heartfelt post that they have come close to having to euthanize some big dogs over the past several months due to overcrowding.
Now, they say, it may be unavoidable. They’re posting dogs at the greatest risk of being put down, along with the deadline date to adopt them.
