Once you have a wonderful dog in your life, you cannot imagine life without one (or two).
Alongside our pack leader, animal welfare personality and influencer Lee Asher (THE ASHER HOUSE Sactuary); a bunch of us came out to Spanish Banks on Sunday for a sold-out event in support of dogs needing adoption.
Held outside, they had to limit the numbers because of the amount of dogs and for knowing how much food, coffee + water to supply.
This was sponsored by “THANK DOG I AM OUT” – a registered non-profit society based in Vancouver, BC that is dedicated to the rescue and re-homing of dogs who are at risk of being euthanized, surrendered, abused, or neglected. Their mandate is to rehome or support discarded dogs. Sadly, there are many.
They say that shelters are maxed out now. It’s very sad to hear that many people who got dogs during Covid ended up abandoning them by returning them to shelters when they had to go back to work and no longer had time for them. For more info:
The fun fundraising walk was 4 km along beautiful Spanish Banks on a gorgeous September morning. There were two tents for those who registered online with coffee (from the coffee bike) + treats for canines and their companions. Thank Dog I Am Out had merchandise for sale with proceeds going towards their cause. I bought a hoodie. Of course there was plenty of time for a photo opp with Lee.
The goodies included WAG BAGS for dogs with bandana, treats + discount coupons. TISOL (Pet Nutrition + Supply) was a sponsor along with TURF (fitness studio, boutique, café) and TIM HORTONS.
CANINE CONNECTION dog training experts also had a booth. They offer private and group classes for training in Vancouver Area & Vancouver Island.
