Animal shelters and humane societies across the country struggle with finances amid COVID-19

Animal rescue behaviour groups are warning people to consider the long-term impacts of adopting a puppy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sixth annual Saskatoon SPCA Cause for Paws telethon took over Shaw TV to raise funds for the organization in hopes of providing animals with healthy homes.

Just 84 children were adopted during the first six months of this fiscal year, compared to 104 the year before.
