Montreal animal shelter saw a 21% increase in pet abandonment in first four months of 2024, largely due to rising living costs. On Quebec's annual July 1 moving day, 150 animals were abandoned, with 25% due to pet restrictions at new homes. To address this, the Montreal SPCA organized a no-fee adoption day, with help from partners Mondou and Purina. The event attracted hundreds of people seeking to provide pets with permanent homes.
