Year of the Northern Dog
The issue of Northern dog overpopulation is rapidly escalating across Canada.
A lack of basic animal welfare services has created an abundance of dogs in the North who need resources, support and ultimately families.
The Year of the Northern Dog is a program aimed at bringing awareness, attention and action to dog overpopulation.
Many barriers exist in the North that do not exist in the South. Everyone has a role to play to create a healthy community for dogs and people. Northern Indigenous, urban and rural communities need your support!
