Thunder Bay & District Humane Society executive director Shawna Beaulieu shares tips for those looking to bring an animal into their home.
However, there are some things to keep in mind if you are looking to bring a new cat or dog into your household.“If you are thinking of transitioning into a smaller space without a fenced-in yard or if you’re in a small apartment, you have to make sure that you are going to have the amount of time you will need to commit to a new animal,” said Shawna Beaulieu, executive director at the Thunder Bay & District Humane Society.
“If I’m thinking of adopting a dog, I would ask the questions of how much exercise does this dog need and if you can provide for that dog? That’s not just specific to an older age group as well - that can fit into anyone given their lifestyle.” The TBDHS is currently looking for new homes for over 20 large breed adult dogs that have come into their care. They are holding a Dog-a-Palooza event this week - from Thursday until Sunday - with all adult dog adoption fees being by donation only.
“We thought that there might be a really specific cause as to why there has been an increase in the amount of adult dogs that have been surrendered to us, but that’s not the case,” Beaulieu said.
