Animal intake freeze at D’Arcy’s ARC due to lack of funds
Global News
D'Arcy's ARC animal rescue says it simply cannot take in any more animals as it doesn't have the space or the resources.
D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre says it can’t take in any more animals as it doesn’t have enough funding or staff.
Adoptions are down compared to previous years, said the shelter’s CEO, D’Arcy Johnston.
“The trends are still there and the adoptions seem to be happening but slowed down a little bit, not like they were last year after the beginning of COVID,” he said.
The centre has a capacity limit of 200 animals, but Johnston told said they can’t accommodate nearly that many as they are struggling to care for the five kittens, 12 cats and six dogs they currently have.
Johnston said he is concerned about what the lack of resources will mean in a few months’ time.
“Spring is coming and there’s going to be a boom of kittens like there always is and we’re just not going to be able to take as many in as we could, because we just don’t have the resources.”
The shelter is privately funded and anything helps. People can help out by donating to the shelter, adopting a pet or volunteering, he added.
D’Arcy’s ARC is not the only animal shelter in the province that has struggled to take in animals this year.
