The kind ladies of McLeese Lake were greeted by a warm, tearful welcome in the parking lot of the Kelowna BC SPCA.

After driving more than five hours to the Okanagan to make a special delivery, Gale Lamothe arrived with many donations for the shelter in tow.

香蕉视频直播淲e have 50 dog beds that we handmade in McLeese Lake,香蕉视频直播� Lamothe said. 香蕉视频直播淭he community let us use the hall, and I had miles of fabric and just put word on Facebook and everyone rallied together and within 13 hours (spread over) two days at the hall it was a wrap.香蕉视频直播�

The dog beds, food and other supplies will go to help the 20 pups currently in the Kelowna shelter香蕉视频直播檚 care, following a seizure of more than 45 dogs from a property near Williams Lake.

Sean Hogan, branch manager of the shelter, put out a call for donations and food last week to media.

His call was not only heard by locals, but by those in the community where the seizure took place.

香蕉视频直播淭his is amazing, and again speaks to the big hearts and generous hearts that there are in the province that have really reached out to our branch and around us; to help these dogs and all animals we help at the BC SPCA.香蕉视频直播�

Lamothe explained the communities of 100 Mile, Williams Lake and McLeese Lake were rattled to hear of the mistreatment of these dogs, and wanted to help them.

香蕉视频直播淓verybody is really upset, everybody is really concerned. Everybody香蕉视频直播檚 hearts are bleeding and it is a really tough situation,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Hogan admires the support and warmth these communities have shown.

香蕉视频直播淚 think it香蕉视频直播檚 beautiful, it香蕉视频直播檚 exactly in so many ways, I don香蕉视频直播檛 have the expectation but in a way I do, because I think kindness is the biggest thing we can put out in the world.香蕉视频直播�

The dogs have made some behavioural improvements since coming into the shelter over one week ago. Hogan said some dogs are still having difficulties but there have been some 香蕉视频直播榖right lights香蕉视频直播� among the pooches.

香蕉视频直播淚 always tell them to focus on the bright lights. We do see a lot of darkness in the world and that香蕉视频直播檚 what this shows to people who are doing what they can with their hands and with their hearts because it brings light back into the world.香蕉视频直播�

Thanks to this generous donation from the Cariboo region and the donations from others in Kelowna, the BC SPCA is now only looking for gift card donations to grocery stores and for financial donations to help make these dogs happy and healthy.
