When eight-year-old Natalie heard her donation would be matched this Giving Tuesday she chose to give the proceeds of her plant sale to support the Guelph Humane Society (GHS).
Join Natalie and DOUBLE THE IMPACT of your Giving Tuesday gift and create a better future for Guelph and Wellington County’s lost, homeless and abandoned animals.
Cookie, a Bernese Mountain puppy, came into the care of the Guelph Humane Society (GHS) in January 2022. She required emergency high-risk surgery because a swallowed toothpick had penetrated her abdominal wall causing a lot of damage.
If Cookie could survive the first few days after surgery, her chances at life would increase significantly. Cookie’s veterinary care was only possible because of GHS supporters and paid for entirely with donor dollars.
The team at Guelph Humane Society was hoping for her to make a full recovery, and thankfully, she did.
