More than 70 large dogs at risk of being put down if not adopted, fostered by next week: ACCT Philly
These images from an ACCT Philly Facebook Live show dogs in need of foster or adoptive homes to be saved from possible euthanasia.  (ACCT Philly/Facebook)PHILADELPHIA - The need for a new animal holding facility is putting dozens of dogs at risk of being put down, according to ACCT Philly. The agency is Philadelphia's only animal care and control provider that helps the community with an open intake of animals. According to the group, a second shelter needs to be temporarily created to hold dogs exposed to canine flu for up to one month. As recent cases of canine influenza continue to spread quickly, ACCT Philly says it will need a different place to hold dogs exposed to respiratory viruses. With an average of 100 dogs coming into the shelter each week, ACCT Philly says it cannot close intake services as no other organization can handle the influx of animals. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESAccording to the nonprofit, they must house sick dogs in a separate space in the building, but the temporary space is only able to hold 50 dogs. There are currently 120 dogs that need housing, which means about 70 dogs will need to find placement by Monday, April 24 in addition to dogs continuing to come into the shelter. "There is no good time to do something like this, but unfortunately, with the number of dogs who are getting sick, we don't have a humane alternative," ACCT Executive Director Sarah Barnett said.
