2008 Dog Walk a huge success!!!

It was a chilly, grey day, but that didn't stop our supporters and their dogs from coming to St. Lambert Seaway Park on September 7th to take part in our annual Dog Walk. We had a great day with Coeur Canin doing some freestyle doggie dancing, delicious Dominos Pizza for lunch, Reverend Mackay blessing pets (and even people too!), and of course, everyone participated in our 2.5 km walk.

In all, over $30,000 was raised to help the animals at our shelter. Thank you to our organizer, Angela Hunter, whom, without her, this event would not have been possible. Also, a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated volunteers who woke up before dawn to help set up the park and gave up their whole Sunday to make our Dog Walk a great, fun-filled day! And last, but certainly not least, our sponsors who donated prizes for our most deserving supporters who worked hard to raise money for the SPCA Monteregie. See you all next year!

I think what you people are doing is extraordinary. Why don't we have more shelters like yours in Quebec. Keep up the good work.
