48 dogs rescued from Northern Alberta

There are a lot of isolated communities. If a couple of dogs have puppies it can expand to many dogs in a short time. There are no vets and food is very expensive. 

This is a link about the town.

The dogs were over 1000 km from Calgary. That was quite a rescue effort. It was not easy to drive that far, collect dogs and then drive back with all those dogs in crates.

There are probably stray dogs in small towns all over Alberta and any other province and territory with remote northern communities. That is most of Canada. The really northern arctic communities have to be reached by airplane. There are no roads. They have terrible problems with strays because there is no one to spay and neuter dogs or vaccinate them. There are groups trying to send help. It takes time, money and people who are trained enough to help.

We may never hear all the stories, but I hope any dogs who are strays get help before the winter comes.
