Staff at the Calgary Humane Society are asking people to hold off on animal surrenders as they care for the pets of dozens of owners displaced by flooding in the city.
Spokesperson Christy Thompson said the 615 furry residents at the organization?s shelter presently puts it near ? or at ? capacity.
?We are trying to manage the space we have right now,? she said. ?We are community-driven, we are looking at community need right now and the need for us is to be emergency boarding.?
Even this week, Thompson said flood victims have continued to drop their pets at the shelter as they are given uncertain timelines on when they can return home.
She said staff hope the capacity issue doesn?t last for long.
?We?re hoping within a week we?ll have a really good idea of where we stand,? Thompson said.
The society is offering up support packs for flood victims who continue to care for their pets that include blankets, food and other essential items.
