With the nicer weather, more animals are being seen outdoors – including household pets.
While having the dog out on a leash on the front yard may seem like a good idea for them – it can pose challenges for postal workers.
Local Area Manager Dave Sutherland says often times pets can get loose.
He adds that if a parcel cannot be delivered because of a pet in the way, it will more than likely be carded and sent to a retail location for pickup.
Every day, Canada Post employees deliver to approximately 30,000 homes in Welland alone.
