For two months, Amanda Lease and her four-year-old dog Krue have been living in her pickup truck — sleeping in underground parkades and in front of friends’ houses in Calgary.
Lease can’t find a rental she can afford, let alone one that accepts pets, she says.
“The housing crisis in this city has put us in this position,” she said.
“Even if you find something in your price range that will allow an animal, they hold bidding wars and take whoever’s got the highest budget.”
She says it’s been hot and stressful, but she would rather be in this situation than give up Krue
