According to the nonprofit, an influx of respiratory viruses in dogs has caused the need to create a temporary place to house exposed dogs, but the space can only hold 50, leaving the fate of more than 70 up in the air.
According to the nonprofit, they must house sick dogs in a separate space in the building, but the temporary space is only able to hold 50 dogs.
There are currently 120 dogs that need housing, which means about 70 dogs will need to find placement by Monday, April 24 in addition to dogs continuing to come into the shelter. "There is no good time to do something like this, but unfortunately, with the number of dogs who are getting sick, we don't have a humane alternative," ACCT Executive Director Sarah Barnett said. "We continue to be here for the animals most in need in Philadelphia, and while this will be very challenging to pull off, we hope that the community will support us and help make this successful.
Barnett says people are needed to foster a large dog for a month, or make a donation to help with the effort. "We are the only organization open 365 days a year 24/7, helping almost 16,000 animals each year, and we can only do so with the community's investment," Barnett said.
