This year, BC is seeing excessive numbers of pet surrenders and rescues, and unfortunately, there aren’t enough animal shelters to handle the load. Our local organization, the North West Animal Shelter has four buildings for cats and dogs, but it still isn’t enough. They have to turn animals away, and it’s heartbreaking.

Christine Bruce interviews President Sara Tomlinson and Adoptions Coordinator Nicole Murray on how they’re coping, and what the community at large can do. One of the more successful ideas this year has been dog and cat adoption events hosted by Total Pet, Smithers and the Powder Hound Hootenany, a community fundraiser hosted at the Smithers Brewing Company. But the big one—an action that anyone with pets at home can do, which would make a huge difference in the lives of animals across BC—is get them spayed and neutered.
