Thank You
There are so many people we have to thank.
First and foremost the volunteers.
It takes a very special person to be performing shelter duty when it’s minus toodangcoldtobreathe and you have a significant other/spouse, dog, cat, kids, a job, and the world as it is all sitting on your plate. It may be even more amazing that they are there when they are single and they could be home in bed sleeping without a care at all. They show up every day. Rain, snow, heat or bugs so thick you can’t breathe without choking, often when they don’t even have to and aren't on the schedule. Just to help out, walk a dog, pet a cat, or as they say so often "just checking". Volunteers are the very life and soul of the society. Though few in number they do possess enormous energy in a common cause, "It’s for the animals." Our volunteers, they are simply amazing. Take a bow people you are fantastic. The families, friends, and employers of our volunteers. Being a volunteer does take time away from your family, friends, and other activities, perhaps even your employer. Without their support and understanding our volunteers would not be able to continue to do such great things. Enough can not be said in thanks for all the support that the volunteers receive from their families, friends, and employers. Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough but it is all we have. Thank you. The people, businesses, and Town of Fort Smith. From those dropping change in the donation jars to hauling in bags of pennies and loose change for Pennies For Pets. Those generous people who donate pet food, bedding, treats, toys, leashes, and all manner of things that are so desperately needed. The businesses that donate supplies or give us a break on pricing. The stores for donating dented cans and torn/leaking bags of food. (You’d be hard pressed to find a dent or tear in many) The Town of Fort Smith for the sharing agreement at the shelter and the use of the facility. The Bank of Montreal selling "bones" and the people buying them. There are individuals who are not volunteers that donate, time, money, supplies, or their talents and expertise that deserve special mention:
The people, businesses, Town of Fort Smith, and various Govt. of The NWT departments who so generously contribute to our efforts. Without your continuing support, assistance, encouragement, and co-operation there is no way the society could do one quarter of what we are able to do. Thank you.
