Humane Society of Putnam County is full

The news coming out of the Humane Society of Putnam County was not good Friday morning, as it took to social media alerting the public the animal intake is closed until further notice. 
In a post on Facebook, the Humane Society of Putnam County stated it only had space to house 27 dogs inside and it currently is housing 52. 

"This means we are not taking in strays either until further notice, it's come to the point of crisis mode. We can't make room when there isn't room to be made," the Humane Society of Putnam County wrote. 

The Humane Society is asking if someone sees a stray animal around Putnam County to take a photo and post it to Facebook. 

"Most of the time you can find an owner or someone can point you to the direction of who owns it. If you are able to house the animal until you can find the owner with knowing the potential, you might not find the owner and get stuck with an animal, then pick it up at your own risk," the Humane Society wrote. 

Officials with the Humane Society said they have been running at or over capacity all year, citing they are a "small staff and are overrun with animals at this point."
