Overview
- About 30 dogs were displaced when heavy snow from a neighboring building caused part of the rear kennel roof at AHS Newark to collapse late Sunday.
- No animals or staff were injured, but multiple kennels are now unusable and the facility continues to accept stray and lost dogs.
- The shelter is urgently seeking foster homes for dogs 40 pounds and over for two to four weeks, with supplies provided to participating families.
- Staff are reviewing foster applications and preparing to move dogs out this week, asking applicants for patience as placements are coordinated.
- Community support has begun with donations of food and supplies, and AHS has set up an Amazon wish list and an online page for monetary contributions.
