Perry County Animal Rescue in Tuscarora Township, Perry County has run out of room for animals for the first time in more than a decade.
“This is not normal. I mean we could probably fill up here four times over if we had the room to do that, which of course we don’t. It’s very overwhelming.” said Paula Current, the director at Perry County Animal Rescue.
Since it first opened its doors in 2009, the rescue has never had to halt its intake of animals. However, due to an influx of calls for stray and surrendered animals, they no longer have the capacity to take any more under their care.
“It’s worse than normal,” said Current. “We cannot take anymore.”
At full capacity, there are more than 65 dogs and cats in the rescue’s care, which is taking its toll both emotionally and financially.
