Monday March 10th – Announcement of Grant Recipients
Animal Aid Foundation has provided funding to three animal groups so far this year. The money will help these groups to get stray animals off the street, pay for vet bills and find these animals loving homes. With help from their Animal Aid Foundation Grant, Rabbit Rescue, Ferret Aid Society, Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Etobicoke Humane Society will continue to ensure that rescued animals are spayed and neutered so as to not add to the stray population and The Ferret Aid Society will be able to address the medical needs of ferrets in their care.
