Local RCMP members assist animal rescue efforts
Saskatchewan RCMP officers have taken their affinity for animals to a new level.
While on duty, various members started an unofficial paw patrol. In various communities, they have encountered a number of strays found malnourished, with matted hair, or injuries.
Const. Lindsey Badger of the Meadow Lake RCMP is one officer who works with animals, along with several of her colleagues from Meadow Lake and Loon Lake.
“We make sure they get the medical attention they need, and then ship them off to shelters,” she said. “Meadow Lake [and District Humane Society] (MLDHS) has been awesome. But we’ve also brought them to shelters in Alberta, and southern Saskatchewan.”
