Nearly 100 Dogs Rescued From Home in Fort McMurray, Alta.
The dogs were rescued from a Fort McMurray home and will need medical exams before adoption, the municipality said.
- On Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, bylaw officers in Fort McMurray, Alberta, executed a search warrant and seized 97 small-breed dogs from a home, placing them in the care of the Fort McMurray SPCA.
- Bylaw services manager Aaron Anderson described the operation as one of the largest rescues the community has seen, with all of the animals found living inside the residence.
- Each of the animals requires a comprehensive medical examination, including vaccinations and spaying or neutering; The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo confirmed charges are pending against a person present at the home.
- The Fort McMurray SPCA asked the public to avoid visiting in a Facebook post Friday, stating "everyone is curious" but visits would add stress while the agency focuses on settling the animals.
- Rehabilitating the animals could take months, officials noted, and they urged struggling pet owners to contact bylaw services, calling surrender "an important step" to ensure an animal's well-being.
