Animal shelters are feeling the pressure as more and more wildfire evacuees are coming with pets that also need a temporary home. Angela McLaren, the executive director of the Prince George Humane Society, says the shelter is at near capacity. While the Prince George facilities are housing mostly dogs and cats, larger animals make up the bulk of those needing help in Princeton. Need for volunteersWhile the Prince George Humane Society has plenty of donated food, it needs more volunteers to help take care of the animals. "Princeton being a typically small Canadian town, we have volunteers coming out of the woodwork," McConnell said.
