The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is temporarily waiving adoption fees after the shelter reached critical capacity. The shelter has taken in an influx of lost pets. There are currently 122 dogs and 189 cats being cared for at the shelter, according to a release. They are completely out of kennel space. "The shelter is in a state of emergency," said Leslie Dalzell, chief executive officer for the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. “With our limited facility, we are not able to keep up with the number of pets coming in. We are placing dogs in temporary crates and housing multiple dogs in single kennels because there is nowhere else for them to go.” Since June 16, the shelter has taken in 343 lost pets, which is a 38% increase from the time period of mid-April to mid-May.
