Love is RESCUE is Love You may have heard that the Humane Society is facing closure - when we were visiting the shelter, we learned that 2 years ago they housed over 600 evacuee cats, and the next year another 150 plus more - ALL WITHOUT GOVERNMENT FUNDING OR REIMBURSEMENT! Anyone who owns a pet knows that they aren't inexpensive - can you imagine multiplying your monthly pet spending by 600????? WOW! The PG Humane Society relies on our community to keep it's doors open so they can keep on doing the amazing work they have been for all animals. You can donate here www.pghumanesociety.ca/donate or by going into the shelter or stopping by a number of local busineses and offices who have Change 4 Change cans - every nickel, dime, dollar add up! They also have a need for volunteers - check that out here www.pghumanesociety.ca/volunteer
