Petland Kamloops, Kamloops B.C.
For 15 years we have been deeply involved in the pet wellbeing and health of our community. We have done a weekly column on pet care in our local newspaper, and donate thousands of dollars in pet food to the food bank. Our group and school tours teach about responsible pet ownership, pet care and the importance of pets. We are actively involved in the Petland Pets for life project, where if a family is not able to keep their pet we will find a new home them. We also believe that healthy families make the best pet homes, which is why for 15 years we have focused many of our efforts at supporting local community initiatives. We are Gold Sneaker Sponsor for the Walk to Cure Diabetes, fundraise with pet photos with Santa for the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops, and the Kamloops Food Bank and recently were awarded the Bronze Medallion from the Kamloops Food Bank for our efforts on their behalf. Our annual Doggie Washes (Barks n Bubbles) are events the city looks forward to, with thousands of dollars being raised through donations for the Food Bank and the University Animal Health Tech program.

Critter Jungle – Ottawa, ON
We are passionate about pet rescue, of all animals. We work constantly, directly and indirectly, with rescue groups and individuals to help animals find their “forever homes”. We financially sponsor many events for rescue and regularly donate our time and staffs time to help rescues meet their needs. We hold regular “Dog Washes” at the store for the many local pet rescues raising hundreds of dollars each time. We have had events on site for rescue. One of our most successful was a garage sale which raised $5000 for rescue. We are working on a new initiative, where we will have free podcasts on i-Tunes for staff training and consumer education.
