Happy First Day of Fall!
What is your favourite fall thing? 
​Mine is hiking through the forest when the leaves are crunchy!  Hopefully, this fall I'll have the chance to do so - we just need this rain to stop!!

Did you do a Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt with your friends and family?  
I hope you did, and had fun finding new things and seeing the beauty in the small stuff :)

Summer Contest!  PG Humane Society!

9/10/2019

 
We are so excited to have the
PG Humane Society on board for our
​30th Anniversary Celebrations! 
Not only because Gingy LOOOOOOVES kittens - but because we also believe in supporting the community that we live in! 
#supportlocal
​
The Prince George Humane Society is a community based, registered charity that provides a safe haven for abused, neglected and abandoned animals in the north.

Fun Fact! Gingy LOOOOVES kittens!!!

Love is RESCUE is Love

Picture
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

Did you know the PG Humane Society does Birthday Parties? So fun!

The Prince George Humane Society
offers furry fun filled parties with tons of interactions with animals of all kinds, behind the scenes tour, activities, pizza lunch and a party pack for each kid.

Birthday parties are perfect for
​children that love animals. 

 


Picture
Birthday parties are available by request. Please contact us for availability. The shelter can only accommodate a maximum of 12 children per birthday party. Birthday parties are two hours in length and suitable for animal lovers between 4 and 12 years old.
