Feeding our fur-babies
Kahnawake’s Animal Control Services has been in the spirit of giving this festive season – and they still have a few small bags of dog food and treats for community members to collect on their last day before the holiday break.
“We give it out to the community to help offset the cost of everything, because pet food can be expensive too, and a lot of people are feeling the crunch of the cost of everything,” said Deidre Whyte, assistant animal control officer. “We want to try to help out in any way we can with people who have pets.”
Animal Control Services held their Share the Food event last week, where community members stopped by to pick up packages of food. Whyte said it was great to “paw it forward” to locals.
“They were very appreciative, and they love the idea of being able to get some assistance from here,” she said.
Community members can stop by today, Friday December 20, to pick up treats and small food bags from Animal Control before they close for Christmas break. The team is expecting to be able to host another Share the Food event later in January.
