The Prince George Humane Society has had a busy month.
After a recent successful move the organization has been running a month-long fundraising campaign.
"Tails for Triumph" has been ongoing since Dec. 16 with the goal of raising funds for rescue, food, vet bills and everything that goes into taking care of an animal at the shelter from start to finish.
“We just took on a second location, that's going to take a lot of financial resources," said fund development co-ordinator Taylor Caros. “We're already in the process of renovating and things like that. A lot of the money ends up with the animals as well., it's the high cost of bringing dogs in for rescue and cats as well and getting them through vet care, spades, neuters, vaccines, all that good stuff and just having them on site and providing food and enrichment.”
Many local businesses are also setting out to support the PG Humane Society. The Wall of Fame restaurant downtown is donating $2 from every sandwich and matching their tips for donations.
In addition to the Wall of Fame, Aces K-9 Care, Westwinds Veterinary, Brink Group of Companies, Selen Alpay at Canadian Tire and many more have also donated and shown their support for their fellow animal lovers.
“I think events like this are so important for the Humane Society, but also the community," Caros said. “People are coming together through animals, and that is absolutely a positive benefit for everyone involved. And it's great for the Humane Society to get some FaceTime, tell some feel-good stories, some success stories, and get our name out there in the community and tell people more about the great work that we do.”
The fundraiser ends Thursday, Jan. 16.
