These animals are in need of their furever homes 🐾❤️ San Jose Animal Care and Services says they're seeing a record number of dogs, cats and other animals that are coming into the shelter as both strays and owners surrendering.
San Jose Animal Care and Services currently has over 900 pets in urgent need for adoptions or fosters.San Jose Animal Care and Services is full, and they're calling for help from the Bay Area community to adopt or foster one of their animals.
Jay Terrado, Director of San Jose ACS, said since he's been with the shelter in 2004, he's never seen the number of animals this high. During April and May the shelter received an average of 300 animals a week. With limited space, the shelter is only accepting sick, injured or aggressive animals."So I was hoping we're weren't going to get here but unfortunately, we've used our classroom for cat cages, we doubled up some room with dogs that are able to be on either side of each other - separated. But they're still on either side.
Because of the high population, shelter officials have requested overnight staff in their budget proposal that San Jose City Council will consider in the next few weeks. Having an overnight shift will allow the current crew to catchup on daily tasks like laundry and cleaning.
