Shelter at Capacity, Seeking Help | Albany News

Saratoga County Animal Shelter is temporarily halting new intakes due to an overflow crisis — not by choice, but by law, as they’re obligated to house animals seized from cruelty cases. With recent surges in intake, staff are prioritizing care for existing animals, pushing hard on adoptions, fosters, and reunifications. They’re asking the public to call before surrendering or finding a stray, so they can offer guidance and connect with alternatives. Emergency cases still get immediate attention — but community support is vital to navigate this tough spot. It’s a sobering reminder of shelters’ daily battles and their reliance on us all.
