No room for animals in need, as Lethbridge welfare organizations reach capacity

LETHBRIDGE, AB – All animal welfare organizations in Lethbridge are at capacity right now.

That, from the Manager of the Lethbridge and District Humane Society, Barb Grodzicky, who says there’s no space left for any other animals in need.

She says pets adopted after the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic are now being abandoned and it’s causing big problems.

Grodzicky says there are a few things you can do to help ease the burden.

First and foremost, she says spay and neuter your pets and make sure you can keep a pet for life if you do decide to adopt one.

Donations are also always welcome as fundraising events have been limited due to the pandemic.

Grodzicky notes that in her 18 years with the Humane Society, they’ve always been at 95-percent capacity or more but COVID has certainly been a factor in this current situation.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
