Five 4 Food ~ Help a local shelter that is running out of food!

Sent in by a reader, Kaitlyn

Local shelter, Birch Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation, which specializes in the rescue and care of giant breed dogs (mostly great danes) has begun a grim count down of the number of days worth of food they have left. Right now they are down to only 9 days left. They are desperately in need of donations of both food and money.

As of May 5th, we ONLY have 3 bags of dog food left; that will last us about 9 days~from the Birch Haven Website

Because of this, my friends, family and I (I am a local college student) have started a sort of food drive called ‘Five 4 Food;. We are asking people in the community to donate $5 (or however much they can and want to give) to Birch Haven.

If you are interested in donating to this cause, please write donation checks out to the name of ‘Kanata Animal Hospital’ and ensure that c/o Gwen Boers/BHRR is in the ‘memo’ section of your check. Please mail your checks to:
