AR-News: (Canada) Foster parents hard to find for pets: SPCA

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

BATHURST  —  The SPCA in Miramichi has the tough job of finding foster 
parents to care for homeless pets while a new shelter is being built. 
There is no place between Bathurst and Moncton to house stray animals leaving 
many to face a harsh reality in vet clinics. 
 

"We have to say, we've had this one a long time," said veterinarian and SPCA 
fostering committee member Elizabeth Hale. "It's really hard but we have to 
decide who will be euthanized." 
A number of people, including Hale, are working hard to provide the animals 
with a new life in a foster home while premanent care is found. 
"Most of the time, fostering is used for those special care cases," said 
Hale. "Mothers cats with kittens, dogs that have been starved and need that extra 
TLC and that extra socialization and care."
