HSPPR takes in 54 new dogs in one day


(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) said it welcomed 54 new dogs to the shelter on Wednesday, Jan. 31.

According to a post on HSPPR’s Facebook page, Animal Law Enforcement (ALE) responded to multiple calls for help that resulted in dozens of impounded dogs, in addition to a large number of admissions.

HSPPR said the first call for help resulted in the impounding of 15 dogs, and shortly after, ALE was called to pick up another 15 dogs. On top of those calls, 24 dogs came through admissions. In total with the dogs already being cared for at the shelter, that marks 215 dogs.

With the Colorado Springs shelter under construction and down 30+ kennels, HSPPR said the addition of 54 dogs to the shelter population will reduce the available kennel space even more.

If you have been considering adding a furry friend to your family, HSPPR said now would be an extremely helpful time to take that final step.

“There’s no better time than right now to make a pet’s day. We need you, but more importantly, our pets need you!” said HSPPR.
