The shelter is currently housing 27 dogs and 53 cats, which are optimal numbers, according to officials. However, the problem is animals keep coming into the shelter on a daily basis.

So Gaston County Animal Care and Enforcement is renewing a request for public assistance in helping find homes for the animals in our shelter.

The Animal Shelter at 220 Leisure Lane in Dallas is open from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday and Wednesday and 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
