The shelter will euthanize 16 dogs if they are not adopted by 3 pm on Saturday, February 3rd. San Angelo Live ran a piece on this but no information exists on the City's news feed, nor is it on the Animal Services webpage.
Live's piece refers interested adopters to "contact Jen at jen@cvpaws.org as soon as possible."
Concho Valley PAWS Facebook page has a post on the euthanasia list.
PAWS hours of operation include Tuesday noon to 6 pm (according to Google). This expansion happened in the last few months. PAWS website still shows Wednesday through Saturday hours.
Prior shelter overloads have been driven by puppies. PAWS Facebook page shows cute puppy after cute puppy.
This takes us back to October 2015 when City Council adopted a mandatory spay-neuter ordinance and staff promised it would mean fewer animals on the street.
City Council meets again on Tuesday, February 6th. In their last meeting Councilman Harry Thomas noted "there are more dogs on the street than ever."
Update: Concho Valley Homepage ran a story on the latest overcrowding. The City informed the public via Facebook at 11:04 this morning.
The Animal Shelter webpage also has a section for events. It is below:
There is nothing about the shelter being overcapacity or a Saturday deadline.
