Our shelter here also foster's out pets, although they are still short enough people to take all of the pets when they are over crowded. They periodically have fairs set up for adoption and the community events to help with supplies and signing people up to foster. We did adopt a dog from there, but we also have one that someone dropped off on the side of the road. I have not heard of the catch/release program but it sounds like a good idea for a place to start. People need to be more educated on the facts of what happens to these animals and the resources required to support them. I'm not saying it would fix things, but maybe if everyone who chose to own a pet was REQUIRED to have them spayed/neutered it would help.
