Adoption fees are waived right now in Huntington because they are at full capacity 😭 if you’ve ever wanted to adopt a cat or dog, now is your chance! ❤️🩹
Today is supposed to be about reflection, gratitude for our service members, family, and the unofficial start of summer. And while we absolutely want to pause and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country… we also need to make a very important announcement.
‼️‼️ Our shelter is at critical capacity‼️‼️
This morning, we responded to a tragic situation that resulted in the emergency intake of 6 cats and 2 dogs. Combined with the 10+ litters of puppies and kittens already flooding through our doors this week, owner surrenders continuing to rise, and more and more stray animals going completely unclaimed, we are officially in critical mode.
And we are not using that phrase lightly.
We are doing everything we possibly can to accommodate the animals depending on us: squeezing kennels, utilizing temporary spaces, coordinating fosters, rearranging rooms, and stretching every ounce of our resources.
⚠️But let us be very clear: We do not have the space (nor the staffing/funding) for the volume and pace in which animals are currently entering our care.⚠️
To put this into perspective, we currently have over 200 animals in our care (including fosters).
We do not have the capacity for that.
And it is not slowing down. We already have another 3 dogs and a minimum of 10 more cats scheduled to come in, all without any other options.
To show how serious this situation is, we are opening our doors 7 days a week for the next 2 weeks and waiving adoption fees on all adult dogs and cats.
‼️⏰ Our TEMPORARY Hours ⏰‼️
• Monday / Wednesday / Friday: 12–6
• Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday / Sunday: 12–4
If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your family… this is the time.
There are incredible dogs and cats sitting in shelters right now because someone didn’t come back for them. Because someone moved. Because someone had an accidental litter. Because life happened.
They deserve better than waiting in overcrowded kennels while we desperately try to give them the time, attention, and care they deserve.
If you can adopt, foster, volunteer, donate supplies, or even simply share our posts, now is the moment we need this community the most.
We will keep showing up. We just need help carrying the weight.
