– The Sugar Land Animal Services shelter said Wednesday that it has exceeded capacity, a crisis that may soon prevent the facility from accepting more pets. If the situation continues, the city will be forced to close the shelter for any new animals, a news release said.Sugar Land Animal Services said the facility is currently housing 65 dogs and 43 cats; however, the building was designed to accommodate 31 dogs and 52 cats.
“Every dog run is doubled up except three, which means one dog is inside and another dog is outside all the time,” said Director of Environmental and Neighborhood Services Dawn Steph. “We have dogs in every space we have available including our cat shelter. We are using all available bangers which are the mobile enclosures that we use in rooms, hallways and the lobby. If we take in another three dogs, we will have no physical space to place them.
