The Hall County Animal Shelter has issued an 18-dog Urgent Adoption Notice in an effort to help with overcrowding at the facility.
“The community has stepped up in a big way since implementing our Urgent Adoption Notices,” Director of Hall County Animal Services Trey Garcia said. “We couldn’t provide the level of service we do without their continued support, and this week, we need it even more.”
The shelter is currently promoting a “Shelter Speed Dating” program for the month of February in a proactive effort to address space constraints. The need became even more critical following the recent impoundment of 67 dogs.
“Our goal is always to work with owners and in the best interest of the animals involved,” Garcia said. “Unfortunately, in these types of situations where we must impound a large number of animals, space and care constraints are placed on our facility as we provide for the large influx of intakes. We rely on the community to foster and adopt to ensure we meet the needs of every intake.”
