Battlefords Humane Society adjusting to COVID-19 changes
So far, staff members at the Battlefords Humane Society have managed amidst the threat of COVID-19, but challenging days remain for the animal shelter.
More than 30 animals are still housed at the facilities and the threat of staff being sidelined with the virus puts even greater strain on the task of managing new and current critters.
Shelter Coordinator Michelle Spark said the Humane Society has managed surprisingly well during the pandemic. Only six dogs are still housed after residents came through with a number of adoptions, while others are currently cared for in foster homes.
“Our community support is support is amazing in N.B.,” Spark said. “People came to get animals when they could.”
