SPCA Paws for a Cause

Sunday was a big day for the SPCA throughout BC. It was their biggest fund-raising event of the year were people and dogs walk around their city/town. I was volunteering from the morning to help the set up and registration for the walk. Unfortunately the summer-like weather really ended the day before, and Sunday was a cool & breezy day, but we said it's good weather for our furry friends. There were some generous donations to help the animals, from families, co-workers, friends and singles who just love their dogs. Addition to the walk, there was a "Dog food eating contest", "Owner and Dog look a like contest" and a lot more activities. We all enjoyed the day and raised some money. Happy Animal Day :)

Farewell and Good luck Buster!

My buddy has departed for his new home. Buster, the 8 yr old pit bull who has been at the SPCA for almost half a year finally found his forever home. I had been walking him since this Spring and I was in love with this senior dog ♥

He was surrendered by his former owner as he was aggressive towards other animals and the training was not going well... We, the volunteers and staff at the SPCA, didn't find Buster an aggressive dog at all, in fact, he was such a nice mannered & gentle guy.

Although he was a star in the kennel, he was not popular in the public as he is a pit bull and the fact he was 8 yrs old. No one showed an interest in him for the last 6 months, and yesterday a guy who lives just outside of town gave the SPCA a call. This guy lost his beloved Rottweiler and was looking for a new companion. I heard he is also a senior, so senior to senior will be a good match.

I went to the SPCA this morning and walked Buster for the last time. We had a great time together out in the field and I wished him good luck. I will miss you, but I am very happy for you.

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuit

I volunteer at the SPCA and walk dogs regularly. There will be an open house this Saturday and we are having bake, plant and book sale to raise money. I decided to bake dog biscuit this time for our four legged friends. Need to bake a lot more tomorrow. Snoop tested, guaranteed!

BC SPCA Lottery

How was your Valentine's day? I had a pretty good one that my husband made dinner for me and gave me BC SPCA lottery tickets for a special Valentine gift!

We often give donations to the SPCA as birthday gifts and other occasions for each other or other family members. If you are planning to give a gift to someone, check out the SPCA website, "Shop SPCA". There are nice T-shirts, jackets and hoodies. You can buy them as gifts and the money will actually be donated to help animals. This SPCA lottery is another good one as we can donate money and there is a $100,000 cash prizes! Yay!

If interested, check out this link. Tickets are still available and there are so many animals in need.

I am a dog from the SPCA, but I now have a much better life :)
