Almost 2 dozen golden retriever adults, puppies surrendered to SPCA in Quesnel
A Quesnel dog breeder took responsible steps to proactively surrender almost two dozen animals to the animal welfare society, and allow for a more measured approach for all involved.
Drever said the society is currently dealing with a number of files involving potential large-scale intakes. The wave of group surrenders to the SPCA is something directly tied to the pet surge created by the COVID-19 lockdowns, when families, couples and individuals all felt a desire for companionship, and had the time and personal structure to focus on a new cat, fish, bird, but especially dog.
“The BC SPCA is dealing with a record number of large-scale intakes of dogs and puppies, as individuals who set up breeding operations during COVID are closing down their operations,” said Drever. “People were very keen to get pets during the isolation of COVID and we saw an increase in the number of people breeding animals during that time.
