Orphaned dogs and cats in greater Saint John have a new champion.
Kari Poore is the new executive director of the Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue League.
Poore tells CHSJ News they don't want animals given as gifts over the holidays because it's a lot of responsibility.
She says they see adoption down a little bit this time of year.The Home for the Holidays program is underway where they encourage people to foster a pet from the shelter over the Christmas period.
Poore says in the new year they will be announcing some new fundraisers and a new website.
