Brenda Grove-White is like other animal control officers in that she catches 
stray dogs and impounds them. But unlike past dogcatchers, she doesn’t put the 
strays down if they haven’t been claimed in 72 hours. She finds homes for 
them.
“Anything that’s healthy and adoptable I don’t put down,” she says.
Grove-White is the Town of Slave Lake’s Animal Control Officer, but the 
policy of finding homes for dogs is her own.
“I just did it,” she says.
What she did was start searching for homes for the dogs, and finding them.
“I just couldn’t see putting down healthy dogs. Since July I’ve found about 
30 homes.”
