Dallas Animal Services said there is no more space in their shelter, and they need people to foster and adopt medium and large dogs.

The shelter is currently caring for more than 375 dogs and expects to take in hundreds more this week.

Describing the situation as a "crisis," the shelter has run out of kennel space for medium and large dogs, and may have to euthanize animals for space.

Foster applications can be submitted in an online application. The online process takes a few days, so DAS is urging people to come in person to their location on Westmoreland Road or to the adoption center at PetSmart on North Coit Road.

All Dallas Animal Service pets are free to adopt and come spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and with a voucher for a free veterinary visit.

The agency adds that fostering can help you get familiar with a dog before adopting. DAS can provide supplies like crates, food, and bowls for people fostering.
