The stress on shelter staff is significant: no room to put ever more dogs; having to euthanize dogs to make room for new dogs; performing triage on sick animals when space is limited; having to make hard choices about evening and
weekend heating and lighting with a small budget; no veterinarian or vet tech on the staff; no evening or
weekend staff; no time to network adoptable animals; no available homes in the surrounding communities; inadequate transport
vehicles; little or no
support from local government; an Animal Control Officer often doing double duty, responsible also for managing the shelter; counties lacking even a shelter or inside kenneling.
