The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas has admitted 168 dogs and continues to receive more each day. The shelter is asking the community to foster or adopt dogs. "Fostering a dog is completely free; we provide everything needed to spoil a dog while they wait for their forever home." The adoption lobby is open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. for information and temporary fostering, according to FOX5 Vegas.

News3LV reports that the shelter is encouraging dog adoptions. People can view available pets online and join a virtual waiting list via a QR code on the front door from 8 a.m. The adoption area opens at 11 a.m., Tuesday through Sunday.

The Animal Foundation is asking the community to help with its space shortage by fostering dogs. "Whether folks can only foster for a few days or a few weeks, every open kennel makes a difference," the shelter said, as mentioned by FOX5 Vegas. Community involvement helps provide care for dogs while they wait for permanent homes.
