The Prince George Humane Society (PGHS) has launched its Tails of Triumph Fundraiser, a month-long campaign dedicated to providing second chances for vulnerable animals in Prince George and surrounding areas.
The month-long event began Monday and will run until Jan. 15, with a fundraising goal of $40,000.
Throughout the month, 50 local individuals will rally their networks for donations, striving toward the collective goal of reaching $40,000. On Jan. 15, participants are encouraged to visit the PGHS location at 1839 1st Avenue, where the first 50 visitors will receive a $10 gift card from Mr. Mike's as thanks for their support.
"At the PG Humane Society, we strive to create a brighter future for animals in need," stated Angela McLaren, executive director of the PG Humane Society, in a press release. "This fundraiser is not just about raising funds but also about building a community that continues to care deeply about animal welfare. We are excited to bring together animal lovers and advocates to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable animals."
The PGHS has seen a significant increase in animal surrenders over the past year, while donations have dropped to a record low, the release states. Rising operational costs, particularly for veterinary care, have further strained the charity's resources.
"Veterinary care is essential to ensuring the health and well-being of the animals we rescue, and your support will help provide them with the medical attention they need," McLaren said. "Now more than ever, we need the community's help to continue our life-saving work."
Online donation options are available at bit.ly/TailsOfTriumph.
The Tails of Triumph Fundraiser is sponsored by Selen Alpay of Canadian Tire and John Brink of the Brink Group of Companies.
"An amazing local charity organization like the PG Humane Society deserves the community’s support," Brink stated. "It’s critically important for animal lovers throughout Prince George and the region to do what they can to help animals in need by donating to this fundraising campaign."
Alpay echoed Brink's sentiments, adding, "On behalf of the entire team at Canadian Tire, it is an honour to support the Tails of Triumph Fundraiser and the PG Humane Society. Animal welfare is something we should all support as a community, and the PG Humane Society continues to advocate for those without a voice."
