San Francisco Animal Shelter Waives Adoption Fees Through August 24 for Clear the Shelters 2025; Mayor Lurie Announces 200 Recovery Beds Amid Criticism

San Francisco Animal Care and Control (SFACC) is currently experiencing overcrowding with dogs, prompting a waiver of adoption fees for qualified adopters through August 24 as part of the annual NBC and Telemundo Clear the Shelters 2025 campaign. The shelter is seeking help from the public to foster or adopt pets, highlighting specific dogs such as Brando the French Bulldog, Pilar the pug, and Pookie, a young black Labrador retriever available at Oakland Animal Services. Meanwhile, criticism has been directed at San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and the San Francisco District Attorney's office for their handling of drug-related issues, with claims that only one drug case has been filed in six months and skepticism about the effectiveness of newly announced 200 recovery beds for addicts. Advocates suggest that many addicts are not interested in recovery, and there is frustration over the perceived lack of action against drug dealers. Adoption events, including one at Stonestown Pet Food Express with Beyond Rescue, are being promoted to help alleviate shelter overcrowding.
