Glynn County Animal Services is begging for fosters and adopters, according to The Brunswick News.
Glynn County Animal Services reached full capacity last week and overcrowding is expected to persist into next week.
As of Thursday, animal services had 96 dogs and 59 cats in its care and 54 animals in foster homes. Division Manager Lori Austin said the animal intake surpasses adoption rates because the summer brings in lots of new litters while people are on vacation.
Animal services is participating in Empty the Shelters, a campaign hosted by the Bissell Pet Foundation. It allows qualified and approved adopters to adopt spayed and neutered pets at half the fee until July 31. The adoption fee is usually $50 and covers spay and neuter services, vaccinations, microchipping and sometimes heartworm prevention.
Crowding issues have forced an increase in euthanasia. Three animals were euthanized Wednesday, but a mixed-breed dog, Bella, escaped the fate.
