has more than 130 dogs in their shelter and over 150 cats — far more than the shelter can handle — and it has led to them having to euthanize animals for no reason other than lack of space.
The shelter in Philadelphia is seeing many animals being surrendered due to housing related issues, such as eviction, moving and landlord issues, according to the ACCT Philly Executive Director Sarah Barnett. “The last three days we have literally had to walk up and down the kennels to pull dogs to be euthanized for no reason but lack of space,” Barnett said. “We usually try to timestamp animals, to give rescues and the public the chance to help those who are most urgent, but with space not every dog is getting that chance to live. It's heartbreaking.
