The Del Norte dog pound is overwhelmed with an explosion of dogs. “There’s just no more room to house and care for these pups,” says Animal Control Director Eileen Bennett. She reports 47 dogs of which nine are smaller breeds and can be housed in the main office are individually caged at the time of printing of this report. Bennett’s message is clear: “Care for the dogs starts with responsible dog ownership.” Bennett has plans for outreach to Del Norte schools to teach responsible pet ownership to the kids.
Oversight of the Pound falls under Del Norte Sheriff Garrett Scott who is reaching out to the public to please adopt a dog. “We need the public to come out to the pound and find your pup, give he/she a loving home.”
