A jug of lemonade, a cookie and thou

Northern Wonders youth program held a fundraiser for us last Friday, 23rd April. They sold lemonade, cookies, dog treats and teddy bears and raised $350 for the shelter.

They are also holding another sale 30th April at their building on Wann Road with more lemonade and cookies.

Northern Wonders also have an account at Raven Recycling and so any refundables can be dropped off there and the money will also be donated to the shelter.

Thank you to everyone at Northern Wonders and those people who helped them raise the money.

Trevor

Some people have been asking us about Trevor recently, from all over the country. Trevor is still here at the shelter. We are still searching for a home that meets all the requirements and there is work ongoing to try and relax some of the restrictions. If you live in Whitehorse and think you may be able to help Trevor, please contact the shelter.

The restrictions on Trevor are part of the court order and it is only the Supreme Court of the Yukon who can change or lift the restrictions.

Thank you, Merci, Diolch yn fawr

Time once again to thank more of the great Yukoners who help out the Shelter with donations.

Amy Petelski raised $148.05 at her sixth birthday party by asking for donations to the shelter in lieu of gifts.

The Feed Store and Super A Porter Creek both made large donations to the Shelter recently.

Brody and Gracie Ryckman had a birthday party this past weekend. Instead of gifts, they asked for dog biscuits and treats for the shelter.

Callia Fielding also accepted money in lieu of presents and donated it to us.

Darcey Mackay donated $125 to the shelter plus dog treats from her 9th birthday.

Thanks to the above and to those many others who have donated money to us. We can't say it enough, we really appreciate all the donations we receive. Without the generosity of Yukoners we would not be able to take care of the animals that pass through the shelter.
