Alberta animal shelter in ‘panic mode’ over capacity concerns
Global News
This week Saving Grace Animal Society took in 31 animals, all of which were in life-or-death situations, according to co-executive director Erin Deems.
Earlier this week Saving Grace Animal Society took in 31 animals, all of which were in life-or-death situations.
“A big day like that is a large undertaking for our organization,” said co-executive director Erin Deems.
“A year ago that would have been an okay day, but now it causes quite a panic for us.
According to Deems, the situation continues to get worse.
“The surrender requests for their animals are just coming in at unprecedented rates,” she explained.
“If we continue at this rate, we don’t even have a year. We’re diminishing all of our funds into these major medical cases and it’s not sustainable.”
On top of that, Deems said they don’t have enough foster homes and people are not donating like they used to.
“Animal welfare across our province right now is a major struggle,” Deems said.
