Dog's Best Friend
Performance Magazine,
Sept/Oct 2006 vol 21 no.5
Companion animals of the Lower Mainland ,Vancouver Island and the rural communities near Bella Bella BC , have found a friend in letter carrier Sandy Robb.
She has turned her compassion for animals into an active hobby and is now a director for Big Heart Rescue Society.
" A lot of pets the group supports are in need of medical care, or a new loving home . The group fundraises to pay for the veterinary bills and the costs associated with finding suitable homes for the pets that need guardians to love them," Sandy explains. "Also , owners in the communities we work with who cannot afford to have their pets spayed or neutered can find financial relief with Big Hearts."
"We rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals that need us," Robb says. "The main thing is that they find a perfect match and families that treat them like gold."
Robb
has been involved with the Big Heart Rescue Society for the past two years and
says it has been a thoroughlyrewarding endeavour. "Helping the animals is
number one , but it's also about helping the community ." So far this year ,
the registered non-profit organization has been responsible for 32 adoptions
and 27 'spay and returns' to Bella Bella and surrounding areas and Robb says
she hopes this excellent track record will continue with community support."
I cannot say enough great things about this group."
