Mega adoption event held at Globe Life Field to help shelters with overcrowding

North Texas families showed up to adopt new four-legged friends Saturday at Glove Life Field in Arlington.

The mega adoption event hosted by the Humane Society of North Texas included almost 20 shelters from three different states.

"She’s super cute. She matches our other dog's energy that we adopted last year. It’s like she fit in great," said Cassandra, who adopted a dog, Jesse, for her two kids."We need this event so badly in North Texas. It is essential that we get as many animals adopted into homes today as possible," said Cassie Davidson, PR manager for the Humane Society of North Texas.

"We’ve been at capacity and over capacity, not just the Humane Society of North Texas, but all shelters for months and months on end with no relief," Davidson added.The big question is why is DAS seeing such a huge influx in puppies? There are likely many factors, but the end of the privately funded Dallas spay-neuter surge program about eight months ago is hard to ignore.
