Overview
- Part of the roof over the rear kennels collapsed late Sunday after heavy snow from a neighboring building fell onto the structure, leaving several runs unusable.
- About 30 dogs were displaced by the damage, and officials said no animals or staff were injured.
- Associated Humane Societies of Newark sought temporary foster placements for dogs 40 pounds and over for two to four weeks, with supplies provided.
- By Dec. 31, the shelter reported it had secured nearly all placements and was processing foster applications around the clock, with only two dogs left to place.
- Operating near capacity, the shelter continues to accept foster offers and donations through its Amazon wish list and GiveCloud to support ongoing intakes and repairs.
