CEO Angel Cox said they have more than 550 animals, which is 25 more than they can fit comfortably, but leaving them outside is not the solution. Cox said she wants people to understand that in devastating situations like Helene, these animals go through emotions as well. We asked Cox what people could do if they wanted to surrender these animals, but she said everyone in the area was pretty much at their capacity. The Spartanburg Humane Society tells us currently there are 260 people that are on a waitlist to surrender their pet.
