Golden Belt Humane Society Director Heather Acheson says the animal shelter in Great Bend is at capacity for animals. The ebb and flow of animal intake can always fluctuate quickly, but currently the Humane Society if full of dogs and cats and are hoping the community can take a few of the pets off their hands.

Acheson encourages citizens to adopt the pets but also wants to remind everyone of the responsibility that comes with owning a dog or cat.

Acheson adds there is an adoption special for medium to large sized dogs that the Humane Society has housed for a while. Those dogs have seen their adoption price go down to $50 with an approved adoption application. Also, two cats for the price of one is being promoted by the shelter.

The Golden Belt Humane Society is located at 151 South U.S. Highway 281.
