Thank you to everyone who braved the torrential downpours and came out to generously support our Fundraiser on Saturday October 8th at Havelock Community Hall, which raised a grand total of $675.00. Volunteers Bob and Erma Carlson did a great job of organising the event and we very much appreciate the hard work of  the helpers who sold tickets, cooked hot dogs,
etc. We all enjoyed a great evening of country music by so many talented musicians. A big thank you also to Sobeys (Digby), as well as Foodland and Valufood in Weymouth for donating hot dogs, buns and pop.

Puppy Mills

You may see the following or something similar in your local newspaper or just tacked to a telephone pole alongside the road

"ARE YOU STUCK WITH A LITTER OF PUPPIES?"

Be advised that this is a common ruse used by puppy mill operators to get unwanted puppies as objects to sell for profit.

Don't be their supplier - Spay or neuter your dogs!

If you think you know of  a puppy mill in operation please advise your local animal shelter or animal welfare agency. You may also wish to check this
website for more information about the puppy mill problem in Canada:

First place winner is Noah Breen-Blais, age 10, with this submission:

I have more than a thousand favorite animals
From big to small and short to tall
The animals that jump,walk,slither and fly
I love them all
No matter what color they are from brown,black and white and on
I love them all
Ones that meow,moo,bark and squeek
I love them all
They all love me
If you love them like I do
YOU ROCK!
