Buffalo Animal Shelter at capacity with no available dog kennels

The City of Buffalo Animal Shelter is currently operating at full capacity, with no available dog kennels.

 

New arrivals are being accommodated in temporary overflow crates due to the lack of space.

 

As the city's municipal shelter, it is obligated to accept all stray dogs found within city limits, regardless of current capacity.

 

This situation underscores the urgent need for community support through adoptions and fostering.

 

Adoption fees for dogs are $220, which includes vaccinations, spay or neuter surgery, and lifetime microchip registration.

 

Individuals interested in fostering are encouraged to contact the shelter directly.

 

In a recent development, Mayor Sean Ryan announced over $400,000 in funding for significant improvements to the shelter.

 

These enhancements aim to provide a better environment for the animals and support the staff and volunteers in their efforts.

 

However, while these improvements are underway, the immediate need for community involvement remains critical.

 

By adopting or fostering, residents can directly alleviate the overcrowding and make a meaningful impact on the lives of these animals.

 

For more information on adoption or fostering opportunities, please contact the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter.
