Staff at the Calgary Humane Society (CHS) have temporarily suspended the intake process for animals at their emergency shelter 'due to an overwhelming number of animals admitted.'
The poor economy, high inflation and a lack of pet-friendly homes are the main reasons why the Calgary Humane Society's shelter is packed with surrendered animals.
In a release, officials said they are caring for 350 animals, which is close to double the capacity they can handle. "We are facing a crisis situation, similar to what animal welfare organizations were dealing with over a decade ago," she wrote in a statement. "This very weekend we had a breeder facing eviction, unable to re-home puppies, stay overnight in our parking lot. These dogs were destined to live in a vehicle in the heat of summer if did not intervene," the society said.While it is helpful for Calgarians who have space in their homes to adopt animals from the CHS, workers say it's essentials for those individuals to know exactly what they're in for."Speak with a veterinarian about annual vet costs .
