Officials said there are more than 184 dogs at the shelter and only 120 kennel runs at the shelter. That means every kennel is full, many with more than one dog.

“Seminole County Animal Services is past capacity, and in dire need of help clearing the shelter,” officials said.

The shelter said the majority of those dogs are being held for stray time, medical attention, or protective custody situations. Of them, 45 are currently available for adoption. Those dogs are now only $5 to adopt to help the shelter make room.

“We are asking for help from the community and reducing adoptions to just $5 for the 45 adoptable dogs we have housed,” officials said. “Please consider giving one of our sweet pups the forever home they deserve.”
