Kaylan Evans, the city’s new animal control officer, said that when those kennels fill up, she cannot take in more strays — even when they need help.“So if the kennels are full and I don't have space, if I get a call, hey, there's a stray dog up here, I can't go pick up that stray dog,” Evans said.Evans said she has had as many as 14 dogs at the shelter during emergency situations, but said that is not a sustainable solution. She also said some dogs need more time to find the right family.One of those dogs is Nana, who has been at the shelter since early June. Evans said Nana is a great dog but needs a home without small children.Evans said she does not want to rush adoptions and asks about families, children and other pets to make sure each dog is going to the right home.“I will figure out what you're looking for in a dog and then say, okay, well, this is what you, this is the dog you need,” Evans said.Evans posts available dogs and adoption updates on the Silsbee shelter’s Facebook page. She said once a dog completes its three-day stray hold, it can become available for adoption, and she hopes the dogs won’t have to wait long for someone to take them home.</div></body>
