$2500 Donation to Animal Shelter

By | Blog | No Comments

‘Friends of Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter’ is a group of volunteers who seek the “extras” for the dogs and cats in care at Hawkesbury Pound.

They visit the pound twice a week to take photographs and temperament tests of the animals to post on their Facebook page of over 25,000 people, to help find homes for the animals.

‘Thank you IGA, your $2500 donation will help with costs for special treats for the dogs & cats especially on hot days, owners who cannot afford the in-pound fee & to assist with the desexing program’ – Kelly Drury Founder of Friends of Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter

Images are of Mint Fresh Owner Antoine Rizk, Friends of Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter Owner Michelle Drury & Teddy the dog presenting the $2500 cheque donation.

“Congratulations Kelly & Michelle, you do a wonderful service for the animals & as a pet friendly café, we love seeing our 4 legged friends at Mint Fresh IGA & Café, so happy to be able to assist you.” – Antoine Rizk Owner Mint Fresh
