San Antonio Pets Alive! called on the community for help on Thursday.
Well over half of the days in June have been a Code Red, meaning, 25 or more animals are on the city of San Antonio's euthanasia list.
Thursday marked the 17th Code Red day. They've seen an influx of nursing mothers and their puppies, as well as orphaned puppies and kittens, on the Code Red lists.
Kennels at all SAPA! locations are currently full and the organization does not have the available space to intake dogs from the list. They anticipate Friday being a Code Red, too.
SAPA! is asking the community to foster and adopt the animals in their care to open up kennel space so they may save dogs at risk.
So far in June, SAPA! has rescued six nursing mother pups and their litters, along with many orphaned litters. Animals up for adoption can be found here.
Anyone interested in fostering or adopting can fill out an application here or send an email to foster@sanantoniopetsalive.org
If you can't foster or adopt at the moment, they ask you to send the "paws-itive" message of rescuing adoptable dogs and cats by sharing a Purple Paw on your social media aimed at those who may be able to help.
