Charity representative Tait emphasized the need for a comprehensive national strategy, including expanded access to affordable neutering services, support for rescue organizations, public education on responsible pet ownership, and a review of regulations on irresponsible breeding.

She noted that the crisis impacts not only their center but also other independent rescues across the country, raising concerns about the future of these animals if such organizations can no longer manage their care.
