Are hurt and homeless pets on your Christmas list? They were for Nancy.
Nancy has been an animal lover her whole life. She has volunteered, adopted and donated to help care for innocent pets. For the past 37 years, Nancy dedicated her time to rehabilitating and caring for dogs.
Sadly, Nancy’s sweet rescue dog, Mavi, made his way to Rainbow Bridge this year. Nancy was absolutely heartbroken.
While grieving, Nancy found hope that Mavi’s legacy would live on by helping pets just like him. “Mavi’s story ended with his second life – a ten year run of everything that was happy and fun,” shared Nancy. “Most important, Mavi had safety and trust in his new life, and I had my 4th shadow.”
“Knowing about the endless number of creatures who need saving, I realized that all their stories are the same, yet different,” exclaimed Nancy. “Most of the time suffering, filth and hopelessness are involved, and if they are lucky… love will enter their lives.”
Nancy is right. Some pets were abandoned, left out in the cold, or lived life at the end of a chain. No matter their story… they all desperately need help.
Nancy made a kind donation to the Nova Scotia SPCA and hopes to inspire others to do the same this year. Will you open your heart to help thousands of animals that have no loving family to call their own? Here are three ways to donate and help this holiday season below.
