Austin Animal Center has run out of kennel space and says it urgently needs homes for an “overwhelming” number of dogs. In order to help get animals adopted, the center is opening at 100% capacity for the first time in over a year starting Friday.
To help Austin keep its No Kill status, the shelter is asking people to adopt medium or large dogs. AAC says it needs to find homes for at least 100 animals this weekend.
“On Tuesday morning, we opened the shelter already in the red for large dogs,” Chief Animal Services Officer Don Bland said in a press release. “Kennel space for medium and large dogs is completely depleted.”
