Local no-kill shelter puts fashion paw forward
Local shelter workers strutted down the runway and showed off the latest fashions to raise money for their shelter.
Kirsy Wandler and nine other women run North Battlefords non-profit, no-kill Lend a Paw shelter and held a fashion show fundraiser Friday night at the Western Development Museum.
One puppy in particular the event was raising money for is Tibeau, who Wandler said was hit by a car at only six-weeks-old and found lying next to his dead littermate two days later. He’s currently in Saskatoon for surgery and still has a long road to recovery ahead of him.
Lend a Paw uses donations, foster homes and volunteers to save about 200 dogs a year. The dogs are taken care of and given any medical attention they need until they are able to be adopted. After they’ve found homes for the dogs, Lend a Paw continues to help pay for the animals’ health costs.
