A tough winter has required one local animal rescue to take a step back.
Valley Animal Rescue, which looks after a temporary foster care network for local pets with the help of families and boarding facilities, says they are closing their intake for now as their finances have been stretched to their limit.
In their recent announcement, the rescue explains that January, February, and March are the three toughest months for fundraising, an issue that was made worse over the winter by rising vet costs and unexpected emergencies.
VAR is asking for support from the community, either through their general dogs and cats fund through CanadaHelps, by e-transfer, or through PayPal. Cash donations can also be made to Valley Animal Rescue, Box 214, Renfrew, ON. K7V 4A3
