After years of warnings about too many dogs come worries about too few.
Before COVID-19 restricted visits, people would often line up outside the Humane Society for Southwest Washington hours before the building opened. They gathered on days when new dogs and especially puppies brought in from overcrowded shelters in other parts of the country were scheduled to be available for adoption.
“People would go to great lengths to get a first look at the dogs,” said Lisa Feder, former vice president and director of operations at the Vancouver shelter. By the end of the day, every puppy would be adopted. Older dogs didn’t linger much longer. On average, they landed in a new home in three days.
