Thanks to the generosity of the community, both from private individuals and local business, TLC is able to continue its efforts on behalf of homeless and unwanted animals. In this section we would like to acknowledge the contribution of our Sponsors and Volunteers.


SPONSORS

Individuals

Our gratitude goes out to Lily MacKie for her invaluable help in our
continuing efforts on behalf of homeless and unwanted animals.

please visit this page
 

Special thanks to Harold Theriault, MLA, for his valuable support,
 co-operation and generosity throughout the year. 

Atlantic  Superstore

Each week our President pays a visit to Digby Superstore, where Assistant Manager Terry Hancock has the store’s regular contribution of dog food, cat food and cat litter all ready to go. With so many animals to care for it is comforting to know that we can rely on receiving this much needed help, every week, twelve months a year.

Grateful thanks go to Manager Butch Reitzel for his invaluable help and generosity.

Walmart, Digby

Walmart may be new in town, but within months of opening Manager Pat Grant was getting right into the community spirit. Support for TLC was immediate and we are very grateful for the weekly donation of a large quantity of pet food and cat litter. With so many hungry mouths to feed their help is invaluable. Special thanks go to Manager Pat Grant, as well as Assistant Manager Craig Lewis, for organizing the project.

Foodland  Weymouth

Larry and Valerie Veinot are staunch supporters of TLC and suggested their store sponsor a cat and dog. To this end, they donate a large bag of dog food and large bag of cat every month and display a framed photo of their chosen pets in the store.

Much appreciation goes to this community minded couple for their ongoing support.

Nova Scotia Power

Nova Scotia Power's philosophy is to help their employees make a difference in the community where they live and work. They provide employees and retirees with an opportunity to apply for funds to assist them and the places where they volunteer with funding to help make their communities a better  place to live and raise their families.

Nova Scotia Power will also match any funds raised where an employee is involved. So if one of their employees were to help in a yard sale for example the money raised for the shelter is doubled!

Through the efforts of a Nova Scotia Power employee and shelter volunteer, Robert Kelsey, the shelter was presented with a new lawn mower and gas trimmer. See below for full story.

TRA Atlantic Foods, Middleton -2004

Out of the blue earlier this December, a call came from TRA Atlantic Foods in Middleton who wanted to donate a whole pallet load of pet food, cat litter, etc, even offering to deliver right to our door! We were very grateful for this generous gesture, which will certainly help to pull us through the winter. Special thanks to Amy Ross for co-ordinating everything, and to driver Kelvin Burbridge for his considerate assistance.

Port Royal Animal Hospital

Our grateful thanks to Jody and her team for their special efforts and support in helping us care for our animals.

SPCA Moncton

In the spirit of co-operation between animal welfare organizations, the SPCA in Moncton has certainly come up trumps!  Responding immediately to our need for kitty litter they donated a huge amount not only of litter, but also dog treats. Three pallet loads in total!

This was a wonderful gesture which will keep us well stocked for some time.  Heartfelt thanks go to everyone at Moncton SPCA, with special mention to Dulcie Knee for initiating this mission and for Nanette for co-ordinating everything.

And...how did we get the everything from Moncton to Digby? See below!

Fundy Express Transport, Aylesford

We are so very grateful to Lee Armstrong of Fundy Express Transport for making it all possible. He arranged a free of charge pick up from the SPCA in Moncton to his company's warehouse in Kentville, and from there to Weymouth which is just down the road from us. Thank you Lee and to everyone in your company for your generosity, and for playing such an important role in our continuing efforts on behalf of homeless and unwanted animals.

Hillside Tack and Pet Shop, Meteghan - 2004

Ryan Theriault has been very busy selling calendars this past holiday season to help our shelter and his endeavor has proved to be a huge success.

New Year’s Eve was like Christmas all over again for our little critters, when Ryan and his staff from the Hillside Tack and Pet Shop in Meehan visited the shelter laden with goodies. As a result of their ‘calendar sale’ fundraiser, they donated quantities of collars, leashes, cat food, dog food, blankets, brushes, dishes, toys.......Wow! A huge vote of thanks from us all Ryan.

Leo’s Cafe & Gift Store

Thanks go also to Paula Buxton of Leo's Cafe & Gift Store in Annapolis for donating some beautiful gift items to be used for fundraising. Paula is a good friend to TLC and her continuing support is much appreciated.

Convergys - Cornwallis, N.S.

Thank you to everyone on the Convergys Social Commitee for the recent donation of $231.50 raised from two bake sales.  Also for your ongoing help in the way of fund-raising for the shelter, as well as donations of pet food and supplies.  It's this kind of community support that keeps the shelter running and we are immensely grateful.

QEII Health Sciences Center

Our special thanks also to the staff of the MacKenzie Building at the QEII in Halifax for their continuing generous donations of food, bedding, toys and other supplies for the shelter.

VOLUNTEERS

A big thank you to Grade 5 students at Digby Elementary for their recent donation to the shelter. Encouraged by teacher Peggy McAlpine, these youngsters worked to hard to collect all kinds of goodies from cat beds, scratching posts, food and toys for the cats, to food and treats for the dogs.  A wonderful effort!

Smith's Cove Running Club

We would like to acknowledge the Smith's Cove Running Club for raising $106.60 for the shelter, as well as donating a large amount of pet food.

Thank you all for your support and we look forward to seeing you again next summer.

Grateful thanks also for Mary Lou Raymond for allowing the group use of Smith's Cove Museum to help with their fundraising efforts.

Robert Kelsey

Robert takes care of all the grass cutting and trimming at the shelter on a volunteer basis.  Robert took advantage of funding provided by his employer and was able to provide the shelter with a brand new mower and whipper snipper.

To quote Robert "Volunteering at the shelter has allowed Annette and I to teach our 11 year old son Alex the importance of giving something back to the community. Annette and I mow and Alex does the entire whipper snipping. On behalf of our family and Nova Scotia Power we are proud to provide the Shelter with a new lawn mower and gas trimmer to help care for the property"
