The Calgary Humane Society is reminding residents to get their pets spayed and neutered after a few mass seizures prior to now two weeks that resulted within the shelter being full of pups.
Officers say one of many seizures concerned a deliberate litter adopted by a further sudden litter, culminating in a "waste-covered dwelling" and the seizure of 14 canine.
"These current recordsdata are a mix of unintended litters and exploitative breeding, each of which have penalties," mentioned the humane society's Brad Nichols in a information launch.
"Apart from the authorized outcomes of seized pets, fines and prohibitions from proudly owning animals – which you'd hope would deter such irresponsible behaviour – there are extra pure penalties of ruined residences and depleted funds."
Regardless of the group's massive community of foster houses, officers say they're at capability.
"Humane societies and rescues are at the moment seeing a pattern the place shelters are stuffed with behaviorally complicated canine, and the adoption market appears to be saturating," mentioned a Monday information launch.
Calgarians who're contemplating adopting or fostering a pet are inspired to go to the Calgary Humane Society's web site for extra info.
