The animals were listed due to the animal’s special needs, the time frame the animal had been at housed at the shelter, or because they had been at greatest risk of possible illness. These animals had been in the facility for a long time.
And then social media came together and help arrived:
Not only were all of the dogs either rescued or adopted from the Urgent List as of 3:45 pm today, we had a total of 17 dogs rescued, 12 dogs adopted, one (1) cat and seven (7) dogs returned to owners for a grand total of 37 animals.

The shelter staff thanked everyone for their help. Unfortunately, they also took in 19 more dogs and another cat in the past two days.
Please do not stop with this week’s Urgent List. We, and all Animal Control Facilities need your continued support in giving these animal forever homes.
