It was just a few years ago reports about animal shelters being empty because people working from home were adopting animals at never before seen rates.

That problem is now reversed and the DeWitt County Animal Control faciltiy is feeling the impacts of it. Board Chair Dan Matthews says it is a problem the County Board needs to and will start exploring.

The County will have to evaluate things like funds available as well as existing agreements with various entities in the County. 

The issue of an overabundance of animals coming to the shelter is not unique to DeWitt County but what is unique is DeWitt County is a no-kill shelter and many in the area are.
