The organization said there are hundreds of dogs in its building right now.Dallas Animal Services is out of space for large dogs and urgently needs fosters and adopters."This is a crisis. We have over 375 dogs in our building and have run out of space to hold the medium and large dogs coming in," said MeLissa Webber, the director of DAS.
"We have 85% full," explained Whitney Hanson with DAS. "It might not sound that full. But given we can get 100 animals on any given day, it is critical for us.""So many all came out during the pandemic. Since people have started to go back to work, we have seen that number go down," she said. "We learn they love to sit on the couch, love to cuddle, love stuffed toys, fetch, sit and stay," Hanson said. "A lot go straight to adopting and never have to come back into the shelter."
"Whether you can take a pet in for three days or three months, becoming a foster will literally save a life," said Webber.
