Shelter Overcrowded, Community Needs You | Pierre News

Sioux Falls’ animal shelter is bursting at the seams this summer, caring for nearly 400 animals—most of whom can’t be adopted yet—thanks to a community-funded rescue effort that’s under constant strain. With 70% of their budget relying on donations, every dollar counts, especially as legal issues surrounding recent animal arrivals keep details under wraps. Overcrowding makes it harder for adult pets to find homes, so volunteers and staff work tirelessly to keep spirits high. Even if you can’t adopt, you can still help—through programs like “rescue dog recess” or by supporting spay/neuter efforts to curb overpopulation before it starts.
