An animal shelter in Edmonton is closing its doors due to operational constraints and a lack of resources to maintain two facilities.
The Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society (AARCS) plans to focus its efforts on its main location in Calgary, where it says it can better serve the community's needs.
But other Edmonton animal rescues fear the closure will have a negative impact on the city's already strained animal welfare system.
