St. Clair County Animal Control says they are at critical capacity due to an influx of dogs and cats coming into the shelter. So far this month, intake numbers have tripled with officials saying they cannot accept any additional owner surrenders at this time. In order to help empty the shelter, animal control is lowering adopting fees to $50 for dogs and $25 for cats and kittens. Adoption hours are Monday through Friday 10:30am to 3:30pm with special Saturday hours added this weekend from 10am to 2pm.
