The Regina Humane Society says it’s experiencing a “canine crisis.”
According to the non-profit, 40 dogs and puppies are currently waiting for adoption at the society’s new location.
The shelter said the unprecedented number of dogs in its care continues a trend seen in 2023, when it accepted 156 more dogs than previous years.
A number of factors could be contributing to the trend, the organization explained, including economic challenges, housing, and a drop in demand for dogs after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
To encourage more adoptions, the shelter said it has dropped the fee to $25, a price which includes spaying or neutering, vaccinations, a tattoo, a microchip and a veterinary exam.
“These are beautiful, loving animals that are homeless through no fault of their own,” Lisa Koch, the humane society’s executive director, said in a statement.
“With a school break and the extra family time it offers on the horizon, now is a great time for families who have been considering adopting a dog.”
The humane society said all of its adoptable pets can be viewed on its website or at its new Animal Community Centre in Harbour Landing.
