RCMP officer rescues puppies in northern Manitoba

An RCMP officer in Cross Lake is being praised for her dedication to rescuing dogs.

On April 8, 2021 Constable Stacey Shearer was called to a home in the community after a dog had given birth to nine puppies on the deck of a home. Shearer determine that the dog known as Goldie and her puppies were strays.

The constable immediately decided to take the mother and puppies home to care for them.

“When I discovered Goldie didn’t have a home, I took her and her pups in. They were only a few days old. They still had their umbilical cords attached,” said Shearer.

Shearer has a long history with fostering and rescuing hundreds of dogs over the years and has bottle-fed lots of puppies. She also has two dogs of her own.

“We work closely with the community and rescue organizations when there are dogs that need assistance,” said Cst. Shearer. “We are all dog lovers and are happy to help out when we can,” she explained of herself and her fellow Cross Lake RCMP officers. “I personally have had dogs, and tried to help as many as I can, my whole life.”

Shearer will continue to care for the dogs and is working with the Manitoba Animal Alliance to arrange for a flight to bring them to Winnipeg.

Shearer’s boss, S/Sgt Greg Sutherland said “Working in a close-knit community like Cross Lake means that we get involved in many ways that may not be considered traditional policing roles – like helping rescue dogs. I am really grateful for Cst. Shearer’s dedication to helping in any way she can.”
