Naugatuck Animal Control is urging people to adopt shelter dogs as their facility hits maximum capacity.
The facility says it has more than seven dogs available for adoption and more are coming soon once their stray hold is up. You can see the dogs that are available here.
According to animal control, the dogs are very stressed and are starting to decline since the facility cannot help any more.
Residents are urged to consider adopting one of the shelter dogs. There is a $50 adoption fee and the dogs are required to be spayed/neutered within 60 days of adoption.
