The Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS) hosted a pop-up event Saturday at the Good Earth Coffeehouse in the MacLaren Building on 124 Street to help raise awareness about the need for volunteers to help support the non-profit's work.
Morris Reid, a SCARS volunteer and dog foster parent, said the organization relies on all kinds of volunteers, from IT support, creative designers, pet fostering, and transport drivers.

The organization is looking for foster parents for dogs, cats, and rabbits.
"Anybody that loves animals (can be a foster parent)," Reid added. "You have to have a spot in your heart for them.
