July 18, 2021 - 6:00 PM An influx of evacuees needing safe places for their animals, as well as a general proliferation of pandemic puppies is making arrangements difficult for anyone trying to board their dogs. Tammy Osborne at TLC for Pets in Kamloops says she has been getting more phone calls and emails than usual. She is at full capacity with a wait list that is full until the end of August. She says she has had to turn pets away from evacuees looking for help. “I have pets that board with me regularly that are my first priority,” Osborne said. “It isn’t as simple as you might think taking in evacuated dogs. I generally have groups of dogs that get along well together as opposed to single dogs so we can take them in and out with less overhead required. Also, there are more dogs this year because so many people bought puppies during the pandemic while they were not working.”
