Did you know that all across North America, shelters are celebrating next week? It's National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week and we hope that you come in and celebrate with us!!

On Sunday (weather permitting), we will be having a free bbq to say thanks to everyone who volunteers, adopts and donates! Come by from noon to 3pm and get a bite to eat and visit with the staff and animals.

All next week we will be holding a Pet Photo contest. Drop your pet's cute pictures off at the shelter for a chance to win a cat or dog bed filled with goodies.

Visit Sobey's, Pawsative Rewards, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire and Giant Tiger (all in Oromocto) and donate something from our wish list. There will be special boxes set up in each location.

Visit the shelter for specials on microchipping and meet some of our Luv-a Life cats. There will even be a special art corner for kids to show us their talent.

Without animal shelters...there would be many hundreds of thousands of homeless animals. I would be one of them! Next week....let's all show out appreciation for the shelters in our areas. And for the hard work they do...saving lives one at a time.
