An air conditioning outage in two rooms has prompted the Montgomery County Animal Shelter to seek help from the public. The shelter needs to find foster homes for up to 60 dogs while repairs are being made. The county is working to fix the situation, but temporary fosters are critically needed.

Fostering a dog, even for a short time, can make a big difference by providing a comfortable space for the animal and freeing up space at the shelter. Supplies are provided, and support is available for those who are new to fostering. Further details on how to become a foster are available from the shelter, for those who can open their homes to a dog in need.
