More dogs keep arriving
Stray and abandoned dogs continue to be reported across Stockton, with Stockton Street Dogs reporting a recent surge in dumped dogs.
Why dogs get stuck
Care and foster space are limited
Limited foster homes. Spay/neuter bottlenecks. Shelter space constraints. Medical capacity limits. High community intake. Low-cost vet access gaps.
Safe placements cannot keep up
City records say stray animal intakes regularly exceed shelter capacity.
