MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A number of organizations, including one in northern Ontario, are joining a national initiative that aims to keep pet families together.
To keep up with demand and to grow the pet food bank network, Humane Canada has been distributing grants to organizations across the country.
Cowie said her organization is seeing an increasing demand due in part to a lack of vet access in northern communities.
So now there is a huge overpopulation issue in many of the remote northern communities and we can only do so much to help move these animals out," said Cowie.
Cowie said moving forward the organization will provide access to pet food for anyone who may be in an emergency situation, adding they work closely with organizations like the Regional Food Distribution Association to help fill gaps in the north.
Moving forward, Humane Canada hopes to create an interactive map of the National Pet Food Bank partners.
