Sometimes we are in a position when we have to euthanize some of them [pets], even though it seems sad, even if we don\u2019t want to do it. Like is something we have to do because we have many pets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lead Veterinarian Dr. Logan McAllister said that the shelter is in a full capacity mode, and that there is a great variety of animals with amazing behavioral selection too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cWe have a lot of amazing animals here at the shelter,\u201d McAllister said. \u201cWe have a huge variety.

Whether you are interested in a cat or a dog, or you are just looking for a pet in general everything\u2019s there and then they can come into the shelter and actually get to meet them.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cedillo explained that there is more that the community can do for the shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cThe community can do donations and it doesn\u2019t have to be money, &#8221;
