HAYDEN, Idaho — The sign on the front door of Companions Animal Center, “No Surrenders Currently Being Accepted,” is a first.
The shelter, formerly the Kootenai Humane Society, has not had to take such a drastic step for years. But Vicky Nelson, CAC spokeswoman, said it had no choice.
“We are overfilled. We have no place to put dogs,” she said Wednesday.
There are nearly 60 dogs at the shelter on Atlas Road. A little more than half of them are up for adoption. The rest are either in quarantine or holding kennels after being brought in by animal control. The cat kennels are also at capacity.
