Steinbach and Area Animal Rescue are hoping to build a shelter in Steinbach and they've asked the city for some help.

On behalf of the rescue, Board Member Graham Pollock says their organization has grown considerably since it was founded seven years ago and they continue to rescue animals in need and find those animals “forever homes”. He adds the need is as great as ever.

"In 2020 we took in 48 animals from the City of Steinbach. Two of the cats that we took in were pregnant and they had 12 kittens so we ended up with 60 animals from the City of Steinbach. Every single animal that we take in gets completely vetted, gets shots, and arrangements are made for spaying and neutering if that is necessary."

Pollock adds those are only the animals that were rescued in Steinbach not to mention the surrounding areas.
