Great Canadian Giving Challenge 2021
Donate to Ladybird Animal Sanctuary via CanadaHelps.org this June and automatically give us a chance to WIN $20,000 during the Great Canadian Giving Challenge. As charities continue to support our most vulnerable community members affected by COVID-19, food banks, mental health crisis lines, homeless shelters, and other frontline charities need urgent support. Plus, the cancelation of in-person fundraising events and activities are putting some charities such as art galleries, festivals, and others at risk of permanently closing their doors. Now more than ever, your favourite charity needs your support. DONATE HERE
Poppy
* Poppy found her forever home with lovely people! Yay! * Poppy was found wandering a construction site in Hamilton. No place for a kitty!

We had Poppy spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and now that she’s healed from her surgery she’s ready to find her forever home! Here’s what Poppy’s foster… read more >>
