The Staten Island Animal Care Center on the South Shore is currently over capacity, housing 28 dogs in a space meant for 24, with 27 being large dogs. Cats and kittens are also in crisis, with 54 present in a space designed for only 32. The facility is unable to accept further owner surrenders due to the overwhelming number of animals, totaling over 1,000 across three locations. The organization emphasizes the need for care and attention that pets require to remain in loving homes, despite owner challenges.
As of 11:15 a.m. on July 22, there are presently 28 dogs or puppies in a space designed for 24. Presently, there is only one small dog at the facility, and 27 large dogs.
The Staten Island ACC has 54 cats in their kennels, which is only designed to hold 32, indicating a severe overcapacity issue.
The organization serves over 1,000 adoptable animals between its three physical locations, including the Staten Island site, which is at a breaking point.
We cannot take any more owner surrenders... your pet doesn't need all your time, just a little effort and care to stay in the home they love.
