ACPS said that it’s currently caring for 325, which exceeds its maximum physical capacity by 50 dogs. As a result, there simply isn’t any more room or enough staff to care for any more dogs.
In a Facebook post, ACPS is asking the community to find homes for a minimum of 75 medium and large dogs by the end of the week.
