The Edmonton Humane Society launched its Adopt-a-Palooza adoption event on Friday, with the organization's CEO acknowledging 'it's been very busy' in recent weeks.
She noted the EHS has programs like a pet food bank, an emergency veterinary fund and a subsidized spay and neuter program to try to help pet owners who are struggling.
“The need ebbs and flows throughout the years, but we’ve definitely seen an uptick in the number of people that need that support,” Sunley said.“So when people reach out to us, thinking that they may need to surrender, we really want to work with them to get to know what the issue is so we can provide support.”
Nikki Marchiel was at the EHS facility on Friday and said for the last 10 years or so, she has come every summer with her children to meet the animals.Story continues below advertisement“You can go to a breeder of course,” she said. “But why not come here … you know if they’re not adopted, their prospects are poor.
“ takes care of animals, they … take care of animals that would otherwise be in a critical situation and try to find them homes.” Sunley said most weekends about 20 animals are adopted through the EHS and they hope to facilitate double that number this weekend.
