Jenny and Ashlyn discuss the unprecedented capacity crisis in western Washington animal shelters. It used to be that you could just surrender your dog to an open intake shelter if you could no longer keep it; not so anymore! So, WTF is going on, why it's happening, and how DGS is responding? Plus, hear about the shitty side of airport intakes, and why you are not entitled to adopt a dog just because you have his picture printed on your fridge.
