"We have over 400 dogs here right now," she said.
The dogs are two to a kennel. Webber says it is for enrichment, but make no mistake the shelter is out of space. "We really want to engage the community to come out and foster and adopt from us. We have a large dog capacity crisis," Webber said.If you are having difficulty reading the graphThe live release rate, which is the number of dogs that leave the shelter alive, is at 82%. The lowest since 2018.Last week, Dallas Animal Advisory Commissioner Donna Magro quit because of the numbers.She says she is not satisfied with the reasons given for the euthanasia.
"The more staff we have, the more engagement we can have. Pre-pandemic we had a hype coordinator, we had flyers on cars, signs, we're not in a place with staffing where we can do that," Webber said."Animal Service Officers as they find pets, the more they can get back to their homes they will get a bonus for that," she said."I truly want to place every placeable pet, I don't know what the timeline will be." she said.All pets are free to adopt.
