ACCT Philly says it is running out of space, and the overcrowding is forcing the shelter to make difficult decisions.
Sarah Barnett, the executive director of ACCT Philly, said the issue is too many dogs are coming in and not enough are leaving. There's not enough space or resources to keep the dogs, which is why some are being euthanized.
"Right now, it's closer to 8 dogs out of every 10 come out alive. So it's not the majority of our dogs being euthanized, but honestly, one dog being euthanized for space is too many," added Barnett.
