Companion Animal Psychology Tee Raises Funds for Charity

Wearable artwork. All proceeds to the BC SPCA Maple Ridge.


The print shows a cat greeting a dog; 100% proceeds to charity


I am very excited to launch the Companion Animal Psychology t-shirt today. Isn’t the design gorgeous?!

100% of the proceeds will go to the BC SPCA Maple Ridge. This is the shelter where I have been a regular volunteer for the last 5 years. The funds raised will make a tremendous difference to the dogs, cats and small animals.

100% proceeds to the BC SPCA Maple Ridge

Jennifer Stack, shelter manager, says “Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and possibly purchasing a print to help support the animals at the Maple Ridge BC SPCA.

“Our shelter has seen a real change in what animals come into the shelter. Years ago there were lots of puppies and kittens pushing us past capacity and having to develop and rely on a solid foster program for the overflow of these young animals. Through working with veterinarians with education on spaying and neutering pets before 6 months, as well as working with the municipalities to develop programs and solidify grants for low cost spay and neuter programs, and through education and financial programs we have seen that the sheer numbers of puppies and kittens has diminished significantly.

“What we are seeing now, is a lot of middle-aged animals that have chronic conditions such as skin issues, or re occurring ear infections, urinary issues and such. Where owners are frustrated and no longer feel they can go on dealing with this, or are not able to financially. Another common one is major dental disease in both cats and dogs. The owners are not able to afford the fees for the required dental care and therefore surrender the animal.

“Due to these cases where there is major dental work or a lot of diagnostic work-up to identify the problem and then do treatment our medical costs are sky high. The proceeds from your purchase will help our animals in need.

“On behalf on the animals, volunteers, and staff, we thank you ever so much. Every dollar helps and we are so very grateful for your generosity.”

The beautiful artwork is by Lili Chin and is loosely based on two of my own animals that I adopted from the shelter.

The t-shirt is available in round-neck and v-neck in both women’s and men’s styles, and a range of colours. The hoodie comes as a pullover style or as a zip hoodie with a back print.

Thank you for your purchase, and please share with your friends too.

Mayday! Mayday!

I was going to post this on my facebook fan page for Adventures in Canine Training (sure I still will) but decided to head to the blog first. I think this is worth a bit of a glance and not all folks will see it on facebook. Anyway . . . I look often at sites and other places that our non-profit organization can help. I am starting to plan for our big fundraiser and so I want an organization that I can donate part of the proceeds to. I found it. The Morris Animal Foundation: Canine Cancer Campaign.

I think just about everyone who has had a dog has had one that died of cancer. I read somewhere that it kills more dogs than humans right now. Alarming. So I also discovered in my Googling this great website: www.wagn4u.com and they sell some great first aid kits they call "Mayday Pet First Aid Kit". For every kit sold $2 will go to the Canine Cancer Campaign. The kits are great, easy to tote and attractive, not to mention they could help you in a situation! Not only do they make and sell this great first aid kit they make some other marvelous products that you would never think of. They make an evacuation kit for a disaster situation and many other great things. Take a look at their site!
