The Northeast Animal Shelter is urging city residents to consider adopting one of their dogs.

If you know someone looking to adopt a sweet pooch, the Northeast Animal Shelter needs your help. According to a recent post on the shelter's Facebook page, the organization is currently dealing with a surplus of dogs and can't continue rescuing more until area residents step up and adopt them. "Help Us! Please! We are filled to the brim with more then 40 dogs ages 1 yr and up that are on the floor for adoption. (We are not counting all the puppies looking for homes, nor the ones back in the iso area.) We cannot continue to save more lives unless we continue to adopt out," the post read.

Northeast Animal Shelter Unveils New Cat Play Rooms [VIDEO]

The Northeast Animal Shelter unveiled their three new cat play rooms Wednesday afternoon.

Northeast Animal Shelter employees and representatives from Canyon Creek Ranch looked on with bated breath Wednesday afternoon to see how Henry the cat would react to one of the shelter's three new cat play rooms. Henry - a two-year-old cat who was brought into the shelter with his siblings about three weeks ago - was one of the shelter's felines that seemed to have too much energy to spend his time all cooped up in a cage. After spending a couple of minutes sniffing around and stretching out, Henry was happily leaping around the room and thrilled staffers by exploring his new toys and getting a feel for his surroundings. The recently-completed project was made possible thanks to a $50,000 in-kind donation to the shelter from the Canyon …
