Phoebe Sutherland, the owner of an animal rescue on another Ontario First Nation and two animal rescues that take in dogs from northern areas say stray dogs are a significant issue in some remote communities -- a situation that's adding to pressure on animal shelters, which are seeing demand for adoptions drop at the same time.
Phoebe Sutherland rushed last week to capture a stray dog that nipped an elder in her community of Moose Cree First Nation.
"We had an elder startled, scared, barked at and nipped. She was pretty shaken up," said Sutherland, an animal control officer in the community. "I captured him, but there's still a lot of dogs that are loose." "You see dogs everywhere. There's constant barking," said Dickson, 41. "Now it's mating season, so it's gotten a lot more dangerous."
"We're still spinning since the delivery because we were already over capacity. We've already taken in so many litters," said Jill Pessot, who has been operating the organization called Petsave for 23 years.
