The Parkland Hume Society is putting out an urgent call for more foster homes.
"We have seven dogs that are coming into our care, and we have only two open pens at this time at the shelter," says Parkland Humane Society Office Administrator Jennifer Langlois. "So that leaves us in a predicament. We need fosters so that we can take these dogs in. They are going to be some different sizes and ages and breeds."
Langlois says with cooler temperatures on the horizon, the need for more foster homes is very urgent right now.
"In the summertime, we can cage some outside. But in the winter, everybody is inside so that is why this is getting a little more urgent. We can not put everybody out as we only have two indoor kennels left, so we need places to keep them warm."
And with humane societies across the province all being full, Langlois adds there is no option of moving these dogs to another shelter.
Langlois adds they will provide everything you will need to take one of these dogs into your home.
"From kennels to food to bowls and leashes and everything like that. There is no cost to you. So all you need to do is provide your home and love for this dog."
You can pick up a foster form at the Parkland Humane Society office, or call them at 204-638-6966.
