Help us heal the broken hearted

Look into those sad eyes ... that's how it feels to be 'dumped' at the SPCA ... to have someone you love walk away without a backward glance. To wait patiently for them to come back and take you home. Day after day, until all hope is gone.

That's what happened to poor Prince. Talk about depressed! When anyone walked past his kennel, he wouldn't even lift his head to look up, let alone wag his tail. He just lay there in a miserable heap.

It was heartbreaking.

But love is a great healer. And in time we coaxed Prince back to life with gentle words, tickles behind the ears and little treats. Until he started coming to the bars to meet us, tail waving gently.

And when an older couple came to look for a special dog to adopt, Prince didn't hesitate. He came forward to greet them and it was love at first sight!

Because love is in the air right now, we're hoping you'll open your heart to another sad, unloved and unwanted dog or cat and make a special Valentine gift towards the cost of providing all the love and care they need.

You might not be there in person to cheer up a sad dog or play with a kitty. But your gift ensures that every one of our furry orphans gets a bowl of food morning and evening, parasite control and veterinary treatment whenever it's needed.

Isn't that what love's all about? Go ahead and spread some around right now with a special Valentine's donation.

And if you make your donation now, before the end of February, you'll have even more to smile about ... we'll send you a Section 18A Tax Certificate you can use to save up to 10% on your taxable income this year!

Thank you for your kindness.
