HOUSTON, TEXAS – JULY 18: A veterinarian carries a dog before its surgery at the Harris County Pets animal shelter on July 18, 2022 in Houston, Texas. The shelter has reported being over-capacity and under staffed as a steady increase of animal returns and rescues overwhelms the facility. “This facility comfortably holds approximately 250-275 dogs, but as of this morning we had about 380 dogs in here…We have limited staffing resources and we want to maintain humane conditions, so that’s why its important for us to find a positive outcome for this overcrowding,” says Education and Outreach Manager Shannon Parker. Animal shelters around the country are seeing an influx of returned pets, and shelters are reporting being over-capacity and under-staffed due to factors including rescues, fewer adoptions and people returning to work as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
