The York County SPCA is reaching out to the public for assistance after a recent storm caused damage to power lines near the shelter.is reaching out to the public for assistance after a recent storm caused damage to power lines near the shelter, resulting in the loss of air conditioning and fans.
The organization said it is urgently seeking individuals who can foster dogs until the air conditioning is up and running again. According to Kristen Dempwolf, the Communications Director at York SPCA, the shelter is currently without power, leading to uncomfortable and humid conditions for the dogs. Dempwolf emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating,"It's very quickly in the shelter, getting very, very humid and hot and uncomfortable." The loss of power poses a significant health risk for the dogs in the shelter, particularly those with special medical needs. "We have some dogs that, due their anatomy, can be a real health risk for them," Dempwolf said."Right now, that means it's going to get very hot very quickly in there, and we need to get dogs out of the building as quickly as possible.""We need to have the community come to the shelter and please take a dog," Dempwolf said."We just need to get dogs out of our building as quickly as possible.""We have no idea when the power's going to come back on," Dempwolf said."Based on...wires down, we know it's going to be a few days before we have power back at the shelter, so we need to get animals out of the building." This plea for assistance comes on the heels of a recent Parvovirus outbreak that necessitated the temporary closure of the shelter, halting adoptions and visits. While the three dogs currently under the shelter's care that have Parvo will remain on-site for specialized care, the organization is taking measures to address potential exposure to the virus among other dogs. Dempwolf stated,"The dogs that were exposed to Parvo, who maybe weren't fully vaccinated, we will counsel each person." Amid these challenges, the York County SPCA is appealing for support from the community to ensure the well-being of the sheltered dogs during this difficult period.WPMT would like to send you push notifications about the latest news and weather.
