SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — The number of run away pets dramatically increases around the Fourth of July holiday, which is concerning to the staff at Sierra Vista ’s animal shelter because they are at capacity for dogs.

There are 43 dogs available for adoption at the Nancy J. Brua Animal Care Center and even more waiting for a kennel to open up so they can find their forever home. “The dog you thought could never jump your fence during a firework anything can happen,” she said."The bang, the booms, those noises are so loud and their hearing is so sensitive that it just terrifies them...and they tend to just jump the fence, squeeze through."The animal care center has been over capacity for most of this year. Garcia says it's because the number of owner surrenders is higher than ever before.
