The pet adoption center will continue to provide updates accordingly

SAN ANGELO, Texas From the excessive heat advisories to the recent increase in daily COVID-19 cases, Concho Valley Paws could be dealing with some of their greatest challenges ahead.

Even though things may be shutting down and hours can be restricted, we have to continue to move animals, because animals continue to come into the shelter, Concho Valley Paws executive director Jenie Wilson said. And so its really easy to get into a population crisis. If animals are coming in, then we dont have them going out for adoption and transport.

Being in a high population area like San Angelo has kept Concho Valley Paws away from euthanasia, which is their number one objective. COVID-19 concerns forced the pet adoption center to make adjustments.

We have changed our services and changed our hours, so that its very friendly to the volunteer and the adopter, Wilson said. Everything can be done online, and through the phone and we just arranged for you to pick up the pet.

With daily heat advisories not disappearing anytime soon, C-V Paws will do everything they can in keeping their pets safe.

All of the animals are inside an air controlled environment so theyre comfortable in the air conditioning, Wilson said. We have outdoor kennels here that we utilize to showcase animals, but then we restrict their time unfortunately. When we have a lot of heat like this we see a drop in volunteers.

This pandemic has caused a lot of uncertainty amongst the entire pet adoption service, meaning theyll constantly issue new updates to potential pet adopters.

Since we cant have our adoption events every Thursday at 10am, were doing virtual adoptions where were showcasing animals that the staff selects their favorites, Wilson said. Those animals are offered for free for that week from Thursday to Thursday.
