MONDAY DECEMBER 2ND!!!!!

Hey PAWS Members!!!

Last week we had a very inspiring visit from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary, a local Hamilton animal rescue who work vigorously to save so many animals in need of homes and do everything to keep them happy, healthy and safe.

This Monday PAWS@Mac will be participating in Fundraising Monday in the student centre. We will be holding a raffle for some great prizes, selling gifts for your pets, taking orders for our PAWS mittens, and much more!

We are also asking for any donations that could go to the Ladybird Animal Sanctuary, this could include pet food, treats, collars, bedding, critter cages, toys, etc.

If you would like to help out this great organization but aren't able to volunteer, foster or adopt here's your chance. All donations and proceeds will be going to Ladybird to help continue saving animals.

Hope to see you all on Monday :)

Cheers!

FOSTER INFO NIGHT!

Hey everyone!!!

We have had a lot of you asking about fostering this year; how you can foster, what it involves, and where to go to find a foster animal. And to help you out more we have decided to bring in the experts.

This WEDNESDAY NOV 20 we will have the Ladybird Animal Sanctuary of Hamilton come to McMaster campus to answer your questions, talk to you about their animals and discuss the process of fostering an animal from the application to caring for that animal.

We will be in MUSC 302 from 6:30-7:30.

So come on out if you have questions about fostering, are ready to foster, or would like to just learn a bit more about it. All PAWS members and non-members are invited :)

Hope to see you all there.

Cheers!
