LONGVIEW, Texas (KLTV) - The Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center is among many shelters across the country that participate in this national adoption campaign: Clear the Shelters.

And for places like Gregg County, with increasingly growing intake numbers, the event couldn't come at a better time."In my dream world, I wouldn't have a job," Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center Executive Director Jenna George said.

"In a dream world, we would be in such a good place in Texas in general for animal welfare that there is not a need for large facilities at all."Since August 1, Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center has taken in 228 animals -- not counting the population they already had."We tend to stay at capacity pretty much every day," George said.
