A Greater Toronto Area animal shelter is turning to the community for support, saying its facility is at capacity as more and more pets are being surrendered.
The Oakville Milton Humane Society is appealing to donors to help fund care for the 131 animals, including 38 dogs, it has in its shelter. The shelter says it has also seen an increase in demand for its food bank, which provides pet meals to owners struggling financially.
Lisa Bennett, the shelter’s customer care team lead, says the situation is so critical with costs increasing for their programs that one donor has pledged to match every dollar donated to the organization
