Fort Worth Animal Shelter Overcapacity, Adoptions Needed
An influx is not uncommon for the spring and summer months, but it’s not helped by the fact that people aren’t as eager to adopt now that stay-at-home orders are lifted. “So, we’re not seeing that bump that we saw last year in adoptions and fosters,” he said. Also, The Humane Society of North Texas suspended its intake as it works through a distemper outbreak. Morton said Fort Worth’s Animal Shelter is likely housing animals that would normally go there. “That certainly is unusual and that’s adding to our normal spring and summer rise in population,” he said.
