The San Diego Humane Society said Wednesday that 101 stray pets have been taken in since New Year's Eve, yet few have been claimed by their owners.

Out of the 101 animals — including 68 dogs and 30 cats — who are currently in the Humane Society's care, only 15 have been claimed following last weekend's New Year's celebrations.

The Humane Society says it is waiving fees to reclaim lost pets through this Sunday, Jan. 7. Other applicable licensing fees will still apply.
