Chicago Animal Care and Control is experiencing a "crisis" due to an influx in the number of animals surrendered, an agency spokesperson said Thursday.
CACC public information officer Armando Tejeda said a total of 1,842 dogs and cats were surrendered in July for an average of 59 animals per day.
To help pets find their forever homes, adoption fees are being waived throughout August as part of NBC Chicago and Telemundo Chicago's annual Clear the Shelters pet adoption and donation campaign.
