The Humane Society of London and Middlesex says its resources have come under intense pressure after 30 dogs and puppies were unexpectedly surrendered to the organization.

“We were certainly not expecting such an influx of puppies and dogs to the shelter. We are appealing to the community to make financial contributions so that we can provide these animals with the veterinary care they require,” says executive director Steve Ryall.

“As a non-profit charitable organization that receives no direct government funding, we cannot provide second chances for over 2,000 animals each year without the generosity of our donors.”
