Pet rescue agencies across Manitoba are seeing a significant rise in the number of animals being surrendered, and it is an issue that the Parkland region is not immune to.
Officials with the Parkland Humane Society say they are currently at their maximum capacity for both dogs and cats, adding that they are unable to transfer animals to other shelters in the province due to similar capacity issues.
Pregnant animals, strays, and not being able to care for the animals are just some of the reasons being given for the four-legged creatures being turned in.
They add they have particularly noticed a huge increase in animal surrenders in the past 6-8 months.
The Parkland Humane Society says they are actvely looking for more foster homes and volunteers willing to help care for these animals.
If you can help out, you are asked to visit the shelter on 2nd avenue NW, or check out their website, parklandhumanesociety.com.
