Jessica Nichol was working at the Toronto Humane Society during last month’s heat wave when a man arrived at the shelter with his dog.
He had been living in his car and depending on friends to provide his dog with air conditioning during the day, but it wasn’t a reliable or long-term solution.
So, Nichol says, he made the “devastating” decision to surrender the dog to the River Street shelter for the pet’s well-being.
This is heartbreaking.
