OHS supporters - young and old(er) are the BEST! You help us
save animal lives by being involved with the Ottawa Humane Society in so so
many ways.
Many of you simply cannot get enough and participate in
countless programs and activities to help the animals in our care.
Here are three recent shining examples that warmed my heart:

Alena MacDonald is very committed young supporter of the
animals at the OHS. She donated all of her allowance to help us care for the
animals. She even went so far as to make her own posters encouraging others to
help the OHS - which she then put up in her neighbourhood. Parents Jayor and
Heather are monthly donors and have adopted their cat Ringo from the OHS - making
this truly a family affair!

The Shaw-Preece family adopted their special
cat Cupcake in February, right around the same time mom Jennifer won free
tickets to the OHS FurBall after purchasing tickets in our annual Warm Hearts
Raffle. Daughter Alexa has been to OHS PD Day programs and also attended our "Off-Leash" Summer Camp. Alexa is planning on coming back to camp this year and
learning first-hand about how to be a responsible animal owner.
Zoey and Molly Purves are two special supporters who
involved their neighbours to help the OHS. Zoey wants to be a vet and attended
our "Off-Leash" Summer Camp last summer as part of her plan to find a new family
cat. Her hard work paid off and the Purves family welcomed a new member - Candy. Zoey and Molly recently held their own raffle to help the
animals. They made ballots and sold them to neighbours. Zoey, Molly and their
two friends Catherine and Elizabeth ended up raising $18 to help us care for
Ottawa's animals. By the way, first prize in the raffle - a picture of their
cat Candy!

Thank you to all our supporters - for adopting an animal
into your home, volunteering, donating or raising money or participating in our
many community programs. Your involvement allows us to rescue lost, abandoned,
neglected and abused animals and give them a second chance at a new life by
adopting them into new and loving homes.
