Description
Every year, hundreds of animals go missing during the Independence Day holiday.
With animal shelters over capacity, the Humane Society is asking the community for their help.
Dogs are being kept in unusual spaces throughout their campuses. A warehouse where staff normally store supplies and other items is now occupied by rows of makeshift emergency housing that were put there to be able to care for the volume of animals coming in.
“It really is sad to see all these stray pets coming in. Each of those animals is an individual they all deserve a second chance and a lot of love," said Jordan Frey with the San Diego Humane Society.
The shelters have been over capacity for several months. Currently, the San Diego Humane Society has over 2,500 animals in their care. That includes over 1,800 adoptable pets at all their campuses.
