It’s no secret that I like to give to the Humane Societies in my life – both with this one at Heavenly Creatures, and with the PEI Humane Society over here in PEI.

The best way for me to give back to Heavenly Creatures over there in NFLD is to do this blog, help out with the web site, and also donate some cash via the monthly Golden Wings program.

Over here in PEI, I volunteer for the PEIHS as much as I can – doing web work as well as being part of the marketing committee here as well which is a great way to start, but I’m always looking to do more. I run the Facebook page as well as the Twitter page but they’re relatively quiet as well.

Something I did yesterday which I’m quite proud of and encourage others to do is I dropped off my beagles old toys that they no longer use and just sit around to the PEIHS! Let’s face it, those dogs are bored – so by giving them some toys to play with, gnaw on, chase around – well that makes me feel good. If you have any that your dog or cat have become bored with – donate them! If you don’t have any, consider having a yard sale or something where you could perhaps sell used books or your old used clothes and donate that to them.

 The animals really appreciate it – and that kind of good karma doesn’t go unnoticed.

Sarah Stuckless and Susan Crocker,  the grade three teachers at Holy Cross Elementary in Holyrood, emailed Heavenly Creatures before Christmas, saying:

We are currently working on a thematic dog unit and are collecting supplies for your organization as a part of their curriculum.

We started off as a class collecting supplies for dogs in need, and have extended our collection throughout the school for all pets. The children decided that your organization would be the lucky recipients!

I am wondering if it is at all possible to get a representative from your organization to come in and meet the two grade three classes, have your snap taken and collect the generous donations that have filtered in over the week before the Christmas break? The children have been learning a lot about dogs and giving to those in need. We would love to see this project with the children right to the end.

Two volunteers from Heavenly Creatures, Ashley Anderson and Jennifer Fowler, were fortunate enough to meet Ms. Crocker, Ms. Stuckless and the wonderful children at Holy Cross Elementary. The donations of food and supplies were truly generous (as you can see in the pictures), and went directly to the animals in our care.

Everyone involved deserves a round of applause, a pat on the back, and the knowledge that your hard work and generosity made the difference in the lives of animals in need.

Thank you!

Generous donations from Holy Cross Elementary

Thank you Holy Cross Elementary!
