Original Toronto Star caption: A 100-Pound Doe is carried from operating room at York Animal Shelter by animal control officer Rick Wood (left) and George Banton yesterday. Lost and terrified; animal had leaped through a plate-glass store window on Egltinton Ave. W. last Saturday. But it escaped serious injury-just three cuts. The doe will be kept in the animal shelter for about a week.

Puppy love isn't saddling Metro with as many unwanted pets as it used to, says George Banton, chief animal control officer for the Borough of York. Above, he displays one of the York animal shelter's inmates, a young part-German Shepherd. The animal shelter now has empty cages and Banton gives the credit to the borough's low-cost spay-neuter program, begun two years ago.
