The shelter doesn’t want to euthanize any of the animals because of a lack of space, so they are waiving the fees, and working with these rescue groups to clear out the shelter. They say anyone who wants to adopt an animal simply has to come to the shelter and fill out the forms.

“We need help finding new homes for over a hundred animal guests that we have in our care. We are looking to get assistance”

In addition, they say if your animal was picked up by animal control for whatever reason, and it's here at the shelter and you haven't been able to get it out because there are fees and fines and that sort of thing, don't worry about it anymore. Come and get your pet. All fines and fees have been waived as well.
