Adopt Me Coat Charity Drive
Fall 2009
|
It all began with a 12-year-old German Shepherd named Heidi, whose forever home came in time for Christmas as a result of our donations, taking her out of the city pound where she sat for close to a year. The shelter staff cried with happiness the day she walked out and we knew we were on to something good. Today Zen Dog has raised more than $13,000, 100% of it going toward dogs in need. We hold a strong belief in giving back to our community of dogs, especially those less fortunate than our own. It reflects our core values and is something we are immensely proud of accomplishing.

We are active within our group classes for fund raising, as well as taking part in various charity drives for specific calls-to-action. We often purchase classified advertising space in local newspapers to help place "long-timers" at the Vancouver City Pound.
Our latest charity drive has raised money for the purchase of warm, rain-proof dog coats for various shelters and rescues in the lower mainland. One of our clients has kindly donated her printing services and has printed the coats with visible ADOPT ME lettering to raise the profile of these dogs needing a loving home.
The success of our charity work is due to the incredible compassion and generosity of our Zen Dog clients. Without them we wouldn't be able to help all the dogs we have over the years. To them all we extend a big thank-you.
