The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas is facing a crisis of overcrowding, having taken in over 1,100 animals in just a few days. The shelter is beyond its critical capacity, with nearly 340 animals arriving in the last two days alone. The situation is urgent, with the shelter resorting to using emergency pop-up kennels for new arrivals. The influx includes 38 dogs from a single home, some of which are nursing or pregnant, indicating a potential illegal breeding operation. The shelter is calling for fosters and adopters to help alleviate the strain.
