May, 2010 We are proud to be part of the NBSPCA Fur Safety campaign. This two-pronged initiative
is designed to create safer conditions for New Brunswick animals. We are raising funds to place pet oxygen mask kits with
New Brunswick fire departments. The $100 kits contain three cone-shaped masks designed to fit animals from a guinea pig to
a large dog. Please contact
spca@nbnet.nb.ca if you would like to contribute to this campaign!
