"Currently we have about 370 dogs, so it's a lot. It's a lot more than we typically have this time of year. We've seen a large influx of animals coming in due to abandonment because of eviction and people having a hard time finding a place to live with their pets," said PACC Director of Animal Services, Monica Dangler.
"We're starting to see lots of staff needing to go out for COVID and personal reasons, as well," said Dangler."If we don't have staff to care for them, it's going to start back logging us and put in a position to make hard decisions that we don't want to make," said Dangler. "Each one is so unique, so different and so loving. They're yours for that period of time," said PACC Foster, Joey Fitzgerald.
"When you have a kitten that maybe is unsocialized and they learn to trust you, it's the best thing in the world. It's like winning the lottery," said Fitzgerald.
