LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Animal Foundation is looking for pet foster parents after hitting a "critical space crisis".
According to the foundation, they've taken in 917 animals over the last two weeks. As of Friday, they have over 744 animals in their care. The foundation is out of space to house any more dogs and is asking for people to considering fostering an animal.
They add there is no cost to foster and the foundation will provide you with food, crates, and a leash. If you choose to adopt the animal, the foundation will also waive the dog's adoption fee.
Several organizations are also hosting pet-related events this weekend.
On Saturday, if you're a dog owner living in the 89101 zip code, you can visit the East Las Vegas Community Center from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to get free pet vaccinations. That's located at 250 N. Eastern Avenue.
