Watch Now: Pima Animal Care Center Experiences Overcrowding
According to Nikki Reck, public information officer at Pima Animal Care Center, they're full everyday to capacity with animals. Every year there's an influx of animals due to kitten season, strays and hoarding cases. For three days a pop-up kennel was set up in one of the community rooms at the center.

An influx of pets brought on by the summer heat, hoarding cases and cat breeding is causing the Pima Animal Care Center to be near capacity almost daily.
While they will not be euthanized immediately, the dogs will be euthanized if the shelter’s capacity problems are not reduced over the next few days.
