The message is a simple one from the Putnam County Animal Care and Control -- there is no more room at the shelter. 

In a Facebook message, the Humane Society of Putnam County announced they are out of space.

"We have dogs sharing kennel spaces to keep everyone indoors during the extreme temperatures. All animal surrenders have to be approved by the Director of the Putnam County Animal Care and Control," the post said. 

The Humane Society is urging residents who want to surrender an animal to call or email a request. 

"Our workers are unable to accept animals without Director approval. We are not equipped to take animal surrenders on the spot -- approval and arrangements have to be made in advance with the director," the post continues.
