Thank you Chad
We would like to shed some light on a very special volunteer of ours, Chad. Chad has been a devoted volunteer helping wherever he can. He helped make the move to our new Centre a breeze, assisting with some handy work and heavy lifting! Chad also assists with transporting our animals to wherever they need to go.
We can’t begin to express our gratitude for all of the hard work Chad has contributed to our Animal Centre to help the animals. Thank you Chad! |
Pets line up to have photo with Santa
In November, our local Pet Valu hosted Pictures with Santa in an effort to raise funds for the Ontario SPCA Renfrew County Animal Centre. We had a great turnout with so many furry friends waiting to get their photo taken!
Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who assisted Santa for the day and to our talented photographer who donated her skills to a great cause. A big thank you to Pet Valu for helping us raise $355.00 through this event.
