Fort Worth animal shelter reaches critical capacity, moves pets to outdoor enclosures

The Fort Worth animal shelter is in need of help as it reports that both of the city shelters are well beyond capacity. As a result, some of the animals are being kept in temporary outdoor enclosures.Fort Worth animal shelters face critical overflowThey’re calling it a dire-need situation. The City of Fort Worth needs people to adopt an extreme overflow of dogs and cats.Both the city’s shelters are well beyond capacity.  That means they no longer have room for new animals to come in.Pet surrenders and stray intakes riseIn the month of June, Fort Worth city officials say, is typically when more people surrender pets or drop off strays.  However, recently, the intake exceeds what they can handle. They have incentives in place for those who adopt or choose to foster an animal temporarily, as the city’s animal care and control division currently has 371 animals."Ideally, we would want to keep the shelter at a capacity of around 250. That would just be more sustainable for everyone involved
