TUCSON, Ariz. — Pima Animal Care Center is asking the public to consider fostering or adopting a dog, as the shelter is currently over capacity—housing 555 dogs in shelter as of Wednesday and putting them above capacity, according to spokesperson Kayleigh Murdock .
PACC is offering some incentives for people willing to lend a home—even a temporary one—to their shelter dogs: "When we are this full, we see dogs unfortunately stay here longer," says Murdock."We see dogs at higher risk of infectious disease just because so many animals are put in the facility together and are exposed to more disease, weakened immune systems because of stress. It is a really, really stressful situation for these dogs and it's not something that we want for them long-term.
