Dogs From Overcrowded California Shelter Now in Redmond

REDMOND, OR -- Staff from Brightside Animal Center traveled from Redmond to California Monday to increase the chances of finding adoptive homes for seven young dogs. "We’re bringing them here because the Red Bluffs shelter called us because they desperately needed help making room for the animals that they already have at their shelter," Brightside Executive Director Becky Stock tells KBND. "Imagine you want to adopt a dog and you keep looking at, for example, the Brightside website and the same dogs are always up there and you go, ‘none of the ones I came to visit really tripped my trigger.’ Having new animals to look at is a good thing. It helps stimulate people who are looking for dogs, it gives us something new to let people know to check out the seven new dogs we have at Brightside Animal Center."

 

She says the Redmond shelter has room for the new arrivals thanks to last weekend’s national Clear the Shelter event. "We got rid of probably 1/5 of the cats and we adopted out five dogs and we have three more with holds, all of our roosters are gone, and we’re down to only two rabbits."
 
The seven new dogs are a mix of breeds, and Stock says all are healthy. She expects most will be ready for adoption by the end of the week.
