The San Diego Humane Society is overwhelmed after seeing a flood of strays come in during the holiday weekend. The shelter was already over capacity before it took in more than 75 strays since New Year's Eve.
"This is unprecedented in the timing and especially the volume," said Nina Thompson, the shelter's public relations director.
The shelter has space for 351 dogs but currently has 547. Thompson said it's not uncommon to see some strays coming in after New Years who may have ran because of fireworks but nothing like this. The summer is typically their busy season but right now two dogs are coming in for every one dog going out being adopted.
