NEWS RELEASE
ONTARIO SPCA BARRIE ANIMAL CARE CENTRE
*************************
Have you ever had a special pet that meant the world to you? Walk in their honour on Sept. 22 at the Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre’s Friends for Life! Walk to raise critical funds for animals in need.
The Friends for Life! Walk is taking place in 12 communities across Ontario throughout September. The Barrie Animal Centre is hosting its walk on Sept. 22 at Sunnidale Park. Funds raised support programs and services provided by Ontario SPCA and Humane Society animal centres and participating humane societies across Ontario.
You don’t need a dog to participate in the event – anyone who enjoys getting outside and helping their community is urged to show their support. Those who can’t make it to a walk event location can register as a virtual walker to lace up and walk when and where it’s convenient for them.
“The Friends for Life! Walk makes second chances possible for abused, neglected and homeless animals,” says Madalyn Abreu, Animal Centre Manager, Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre. “Whether you are walking for your furry best friend, a beloved past pet, or on behalf of animals across Ontario, know that by participating in the walk you are taking the first step to giving animals a second chance at an amazing life.”
Visit friendsforlifewalk.ca to register to walk for the Barrie Animal Centre and join us in changing animals’ lives, one step at a time.
