The Inuvik pound may be full, but at least the dogs will be well fed.
On Facebook, Town of Inuvik Municipal Enforcement announced that over 1,400 pounds of dog food had been donated to the town thanks to Berkeley’s Place in Edmonton and Home Alive Pets.
“We would not be able to maintain the same level of care we provide if not for the generosity of organizations like Berkeley’s Place,” reads the announcement.
