Editors Note
Last week, Contra Costa Animal Services made a plea to the community to adopt animals after the shelters were at capacity. In response, Contra Costa Animal Services 79 dogs and 34 cats have been adopted, welcomed into a foster home, been reunited with their family, or have embarked on a new journey with a local rescue organization. As a result of this phenomenal response, no healthy or treatable dogs were at risk of being euthanized and CCAS’s dog population at the shelter was reduced from 180 to 124 dogs as of Saturday night.
“We’ve been inspired by the hundreds of responses we’ve received to our call to action,” says CCAS Director, Beth Ward. “It was heartwarming to see people responding with kindness, support, and compassion. The unwavering support, whether through adoption, fostering, support of our staff and volunteers, or simply people spreading the word, has made an immeasurable difference in the lives of these animals.”
