San Jose Animal Care and Services is dealing with a record-high number of pets that need a home.
SAN JOSE -- It's late afternoon and Ronnie the dog seems content in his kennel at San Jose Animal Care and Services.
Ronnie is a Belgian Malinois that is somewhere around five years old. This shelter has been his home for more than 300 days. "I think, after COVID, we started to see a lot of folks who gave us reasons -- like their housing situation has changed," he said."It could be financial reasons. It could be the lack of access to vet care. It could be numerous reasons – like moving out of the area and they can't take their animals with them."
