City: 20 dogs to be euthanized if not rehomed soon

SAN ANGELO, Texas ( Concho Valley Homepage ) — Twenty dogs are at risk of euthanasia due to the San Angelo Animal Shelter exceeding its maximum capacity, according to the City of San Angelo.

In an announcement issued during the afternoon of July 17, the City stated that the shelter is housing 199 dogs on site due to “exigent circumstances.” Due to the shelter’s 180-dog maximum capacity, the City is now considering euthanizing a portion of the current shelter pet population to compensate.

The dogs have until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23, to be adopted, fostered or transferred to another shelter. Those who wish to rehome a dog are encouraged to contact info@cvpaws.org “as soon as possible.”

“The shelter must be under 180 dogs at all times,” the City said. “Adoptions, fosters and transports are urgently needed to help these at-risk animals avoid euthanasia.”

The 20 dogs constitute the latest euthanasia list since late May, when the City announced that 40 dogs would be euthanized in early June unless they were rehomed. Though the 40-dog list generated controversy in the community, all 40 of the dogs were saved over the course of roughly 11 days of campaigning from Concho Valley PAWS.

Below is a list of the 20 dogs scheduled for euthanasia:

DayDay — female shepherd mix
