📚 As the school year comes to close, we’re wrapping up another successful, and impactful year of programing that is very close to our hearts, the Rescue Readers program! This morning we welcomed two incredible classes who not only created beautiful artwork for the animals in our care, but they also shared stories and presented us with a cheque for $1013.65!! These young animal lovers held a bake sale at their school, AND all the goodies were baked by the kids! We’re so proud of your fundraising efforts, thank you for your donation!
