The Humboldt County Animal Shelter has been up to its ears in dogs for the last few days. It’s gotten so bad that the county facility has come close to doing something it does very, very rarely, and only in times of an overcrowding emergency — making plans for euthanasia.

Right now there are 48 dogs housed in the shelter. It is built to house 50. If you’ve been thinking at all about adopting a dog, now is probably the time to do that.

Earlier today, KHUM’s Bayley Brown spoke with Tammy of “It’s a Dog’s Life” about the crisis at the shelter, with details about some of the doggies available and how to go about adopting them.
