Nearly a dozen dogs in Stanislaus County at risk of being put down if not adopted

Nearly a dozen dogs in Stanislaus County could be put down by the end of the weekend. At the beginning of the week that number was closer to 30 dogs but with help from the community it is slowly going down.A wall in the Stanislaus Animal Services Agency in Ceres is covered in posters of dogs looking for a home.Lola Peralta works at the Stanislaus Animal Services Agency. She said the issue of finding owners for each dog is recurring. “We have over 260 dogs right now and 186 kennels. So every week we find ourselves having to push out dogs,” Peralta said. Each one has its own story. Peralta introduced us to Pugsley and Brawn. Both are bully mix dogs that are covered in white fur with black spots. “Culkin , he’s also a very sweet boy. He’s done really well with people. He’s been out of the shelter on doggy day outs as well, just overlooked again,” Peralta said. If all 11 dogs are unable to find a home this will be the largest set of dogs to be euthanized here this year. “A lot of these dogs, even though they’ve been sitting here for so long, there’s not necessarily anything wrong with them. It’s just too many options and they get overlooked by the public,” Peralta said. The deadline to adopt the dogs is Saturday at 4:30. There will be a last call to adopt at the end of the weekend to hopefully find those dogs a forever home.See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel
