An unexpected large intake at the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA is pushing the organization beyond the limits of its available on-campus resources.
Nine dogs arrived at the shelter before noon on Wednesday from an intake from local animal control officers, the SPCA said in a release.
To create immediate space and ensure every animal continues receiving the care and attention they need, the shelter is working to place 15 dogs into foster homes as soon as possible.
“We need our community’s help today,” said Sara Stone, director of development for the RHSPCA.
RHSPCA is asking for:
- Foster homes to provide temporary care and help free up critical shelter space
- Community members to share the urgent request with friends, family, neighbors and local groups
- Adopters ready to provide permanent homes to dogs already available for adoption
Group foster pickups are available:
- Wednesday, July 15 at 5:30 p.m.
- Thursday, July 16 at 5:30 p.m.
- Saturday, July 18 at 10:30 a.m.
Those available to attend a group pickup can register here.
Those who need an individual pickup appointment can register here.
