In a social media post, officials asked for help fostering animals if you are on the fence about adopting.
“We are reaching out to you, the public, to be the change you want to see in the world. Make a commitment to help a shelter dog, which is the majority of our population,” the release read in part. “We know some of you have been thinking about adoption. Scared of commitment but want to help? Foster today.”
