>> THEY ARE ARGUING THAT THERE COULD BE SO MANY INSTANCES OF VIOLATING PEOPLE'S PRIVACY.

RELEASING THE VIDEO TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE WILL FURTHER IT.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF THAT IS TRUE THEY HAVE A READY VIOLATED THE PRIVACY.

>> Reporter: IF THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES NOT TO TAKE THE CASE THE APPELLATE DECISION STANDS.

UNDER VARIOUS ALERTS.

DOZENS OF STORM -RELATED DEATHS REPORTED ACROSS MULTIPLE STATES SINCE JANUARY 12th.

IN OREGON THREE PEOPLE DIED AFTER A FALLEN TREE BRANCH DRAPED A LIVE POWER LINE ACROSS THEIR SUV.

>> WHEN THEY TOUCH THE GROUND AND TOUCH THE VEHICLE THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT RAN THROUGH THEM.

>> Reporter: PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST HAVE SEEN A SEASONS WORTH OF SNOW WITH FREEZING RAIN FALLING ON ROADS COVERED IN ICE.

NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA SAW AN INCH OF SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 700 DAYS.

SEVERAL MORE INCHES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY.

IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST POWER OUTAGES ROLLED INTO A FIFTH DAY FOR SOME OREGON RESIDENTS.

>> WE MOVED OUR MATTRESS IN FRONT OF OUR FIREPLACE SO WE HAVE BEEN CAMPING THERE FOR FIVE DAYS.

>> Reporter: YET ANOTHER WAVE OF SNOW AND BRUTAL COLD IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE MIDWEST AND THE EASTERN U.S. ONCE AGAIN THIS WEEKEND.

>>> WITH 2024 OFF TO A CHILLY START FOR MOST AMERICANS SOME MAY BE REALIZING EXTREME COLD ALSO COMES WITH A COST.

WE WILL BREAK DOWN THOSE COSTS A LITTLE LATER ON.

>>> WE HAVE FAIRLY COOL AND RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER TO BEGIN THE FORECAST.

THEY SAY THIS IS A CRISIS PLAYING OUT NATIONWIDE AND THERE IS A DESPERATE NEED FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN FOSTER OR ADOPT FURRY FRIENDS.

>> Reporter: MAN'S BEST FRIEND IS DESPERATELY IN NEED OF A HOME.

MORE DOGS ARE BEING BROUGHT INTO ANIMAL SHELTERS THAT ARE BEING RECLAIMED OR ADOPTED.

>> ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO EDITING SLOWDOWN.

>> Reporter: THE ANIMAL RESCUE FOUNDATION BASED OUT OF NORTH COUNTY.

>> I GET TWO OR THREE CALLS A DAY OF ASKING IF I CAN TAKE THEIR DOGS.

IT IS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE BUT THE SHELTERS HAVE ROOM BUT NOW THEY DON'T.

>> Reporter: SHELTERS LIKE THIS ONE ARE NOW IN A CRITICAL STAGE OF OVERCROWDING AT BOTH OF THEIR LOCATIONS.

>> WE ARE OPERATING AT 97 OR 98 CAPACITY.

>> Reporter: CARL SMITH IS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SERVICES.

HE IS CONCERNED THAT MANY DOGS ARE NOW STAYING LONGER THAN SIX MONTHS, PARTICULARLY LARGER BREEDS LIKE HUSKIES.

>> ANY DOGS OVER HERE SIX MONTHS START TO DECLINE RAPIDLY.

SO WE WANT TO GET THE DOGS OUT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

>> THE SITUATION IS SIMILAR AT THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY.

THEY SET A RECORD FOR THE NUMBER OF CANINES IN THEIR CARE LAST OCTOBER.

727 DOGS.

THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF CANDLES THEY HAVE.

>> WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A YEAR LIKE 2023 BEFORE.

RIGHT NOW 2024 IS STARTING OFF AT AN ALARMING RATE.

HISTORICALLY FOR SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

>> Reporter: WHILE ALL SHELTERS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL NOT KILL A DOG DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, THE OVERCROWDING CAN SEVERELY IMPACT THE DOG'S HEALTH.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

ONE THEORY ACCORDING TO SMITH IS THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NATION.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO RELOCATE AND BE IN APARTMENTS THAT ARE NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT PETS.

PLUS THE INSURANCE FOR SOME BREEDS IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO GET.

THE OTHER ISSUE IS JUST TO CARE FOR AN ANIMAL.

IT'S EXPENSIVE.

>> Reporter: FOR MAGAZINE SAID THE AVERAGE VET VISIT IS ABOUT $72.

THOMPSON SAID ANOTHER REASON FOR THE OVERCROWDING MAY BE THE SPAY AND NEW IN CLINICS PAUSING LEADING TO MORE PUPPIES BEING BORN.

WITH ALL THE DOGS SHORT ON SPACE SMITH AND THOMPSON ARE ASKING FOR HELP IN THE FORM OF FOSTERING OR ADOPTING A POOCH FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ROOM IN THEIR HEARTS AND HOMES.

WE WORK HARD AND PAY TAXES.

WE ARE NOT A BURDEN.

>> WHILE HE IS WAITING TO PLEAD HIS ASYLUM CASE IN COURT HE IS LEGALLY WORKING AS A TRUCK DRIVER.
