The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region has more dogs than they have kennels. The group said it is down 30 kennels because of building renovations.
Winter is usually the shelter’s slower season, so it’s ideal for renovation projects, the Humane Society explained to Gazette news partner KOAA.

But last week, the shelter received an additional 54 dogs, bringing their total to 215. This was an unusually large amount of arrivals for a single day, especially this time of year.
The Humane Society appealed for the community’s help to free up space at the shelter. The building renovation is expected to be done by March.
