Industry - Organizations join forces to rescue orphaned dogs

Last week, the companion animal and law enforcement industries mourned the loss of RCMP peace officer Rod Lazenby who was killed in the line of duty while investigating a dog-related call at a ranch near Priddis, Alberta. 

This week, two Alberta animal rescue organizations are joining together to re-home and care for 18 cattle dogs seized at the ranch after their owner was arrested in the death of the officer.

Kate MacDonald, chief executive officer at the Ontario SPCA, places her emphasis on focusing the organization's cultural vision to concentrate on collaborative service delivery and establishing strategic alliances.  

MacDonald is pleased with the collaborative efforts made by the Alberta rescue groups by pooling their resources and putting the welfare of these dogs before their individual needs. 

"We are heartened to see Animal Welfare organizations across Alberta pull together to rescue 18 dogs recently removed from a ranch," said MacDonald.
"Every time we make the effort to support each other, we enhance the level of care we can extend to animals. Congratulations to everyone who participated in the rescue efforts."
