The closure comes after more than 300 animals — including snakes, turtles, and frogs — were rescued by the Lehigh Valley Humane Society and Vet Clinic.
An animal shelter announced that it has exceeded its capacity after hundreds of animals were taken from an Allentown home last week.The animal rescue overload forced the Lehigh Valley Humane Society to remain closed for walk-ins at least through today. A messageThe number of animals at the shelter doubled overnight from 100 to between 300 and 400, making it one of the largest rescue operations in city history, the humane society said.
“So, this is probably the most animals that we’ve seized from one property,” Jackie Folsom of the Lehigh Valley Humane Society told 69 News. More than a dozen Humane Society staffers worked 12-hour shifts to remove the animals and were back at work the next day caring for them.“I hope I can get my animals back quickly and give them the good lives because a lot of them have extremely hard to care for requirements,” he told the news outlet.“If it was up to me, I’d say no. Unfortunately, it’s not up to me. Ultimately it’s going to be up to the judge,” Humane Society Police Officer Elena Feliciano told 69 News.
