Comments from the recipient:
This project highlights the Ontario SPCA's continued commitment to serve and support people and their pets in need in our community of Renfrew County. By connecting women and families affected by family violence to appropriate supports like emergency sheltering for safekeeping of their pets, they will help survivors of violence contribute to a stronger, more resilient community.
Comments from the 100+ Women Committee:
The Foundation awarded $1650 to the Ontario SPCA- Renfrew County. With this grant we hope to help assist them in funding temporary emergency sheltering and care of pets of women and their families who are seeking shelter from domestic violence. This project aims to reduce a barrier that will help women take that first step towards building a better life
