Greenbelt Animal Shelter Hits Capacity for Cats and Dogs
"It's never been like that, and we just have no room," says Kim DeAnglis, shelter manager.
The Greenbelt Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter that sometimes goes to extraordinary lengths to save animals lives, from rescuing , to taking in that was hit by a car.
On the flip side, the more animals they save, the more animals they have to care for and feed. So they could use a little help from their friends right now as the shelter is at capacity, according to Kim DeAngelis, shelter manager.
