The three-day clinic was two-and-a-half years in the making, says Darcy Marcotte, community safety officer lead for the Selkirk First Nation.Ī few years ago, loose dogs were identified as one of the top five issues in Pelly. It was an unexpected perk of the June clinic, put on at the Community Link Building by the Canadian Animal Assistance Team (CAAT) - a non-profit that provides free animal care clinics for cats and dogs in underserved and rural Canadian communities. “(After her surgery) I was able to lay there on the floor with her, pet her, wake her up and then I was the first one she saw when she woke up.”
“They said come right in, and they showed me around,” Roberts says over the phone from her home in Pelly. She thought she’d hand her dog over at the door and be told to come back at the end of the day. Roberts wasn’t expecting to do that when she took Lusha, her one-year-old rescue dog, to the Pelly Crossing pet clinic. The Canadian Animal Assistance Team sent a team of 15 to Pelly Crossing for three days of surgeries, vaccinations and moreLusha was so nervous before surgery, Tara Roberts held her until the anaesthetic kicked in.
