EDMONTON Summer is normally a busy time for animal rescues and shelters, but one foster-based organization is having a hard time keeping up with demand this year. During the pandemic, many animal rescue groups saw an increase in adoptions, though as restrictions have eased, those numbers have slowed. “People are now having more freedom, have the ability to go away, spend more time with their friends and loved ones,” said Jamey Blair, the operations manager at the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society. “We’re really hoping people will really consider opening their home to an animal.” The increase in adoptions is resulting in an increase in surrenders for the Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue.
