Officials add that there is no time limit on how long an animal can stay at OAHS meaning that they can not add any more animals into the shelter until ones already in care are adopted. Due to many different hardships occurring throughout the country, shelters have begun to be overrun with an increase of 177,000 from 2022 to 2023 and an additional 250,000 pets reported to be in the U.S. shelter system at the start of 2024. Those interested in helping out by adopting a new pet or two for themselves or their family can see what pets are available on the OAHS website.
