With a stream of new litters and strays coming in recent times, the shelter quickly began filling with animals after having previously been nearly cleared out during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The shelter is working to get dogs out to adopting and foster families and taking other measures, such as working with other rescues to ease the load and send them some animals to get them adopted faster.

The shelter says that a new batch of dogs will be available for adoption beginning Tuesday, June 22 after a large-scale spay and neutering process.

They're also recruiting foster families for certain animals who need extra attention.

The Humane Society is accepting in-person visits for adoption, and more information on the situation can be found at the Humane Society of Scott County website.
