The Four Feet Fancy: December 2016

Happy Holidays to you and all your loved ones, two-legged and four-legged!

As 2016 draws to a close, we'd like to thank all of you - our supporters and volunteers. It is because of your kindness, generosity, and love that we continue to work together to help thousands of animals.

There were certainly a number of highlights that made 2016 incredible:

Events ranging from hockey games to books sales, and information booths to parties. Our fall calendar in particular was packed, including the annual Blessing of the Animals, our Dogtoberfest Pub Night, and Pictures with Santa, with even more to come!
Of course, the need for help is seemingly limitless, particularly during this difficult time for Albertans, and 2016 was no exception. Grants went to support emergency situations such as natural disasters and life-saving rescue, and special projects including spay/neuter clinics and educational programs.

Now let's end the year on an even higher note!

Remember to bring your furkids to visit Santa on Saturday, December 11.
Join us at Pucks for Paws on Saturday, December 17. Be sure to check out the great items on our online auction with Elevate Auctions closing December 18!
We have 2017 calendars available for $20 each. Contact us at info@fourfeet.org to purchase. Our thanks to Suzi Q Artworks for its generous support!
