SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — The Nancy J Brua Animal Care Center , in Sierra Vista , has 150 animals they are responsible for, including those in foster homes. The growing number of animals in their care, is why the city is investing $2 million into expanding the shelter.
The expansion adds 18 more kennels, 14 of which will be for dogs waiting for adoption. The rest will be used as quarantine spaces.According to Shelter Animal Count, a database of shelter statistics, in May there were more than 7,700 animals taken in by shelters in Arizona. There were just over 6,900 adoptions during that same time frame.
The increase in owner surrenders, in Sierra Vista has caused the shelter to schedule drop offs. Garcia says they are already booked though the rest of the month for owner surrenders, and many of the appointments have more than one dog.
