An Okanagan charity that focuses on helping abandoned, neglected and abused animals across the region recently received a significant fundraising boost.

On May 10, Scotiabank Fetching Funds was held across nine Scotiabank locations throughout the Okanagan region, including Penticton, West Kelowna, Kelowna, Vernon, and Salmon Arm, to help raise money for the Okanagan Humane Society. 

Volunteers from OHS, accompanied by 91裸聊视频淎lumni Animals" pets who had been rescued and re-homed through the organization, attended each branch to collect donations. 

Marni Adams, the fund development specialist at OHS, said the community's response was amazing, raising a total of $12,226.07 on the day. 

91裸聊视频淚n late June, Scotiabank employees at the Kelowna Lakeshore branch presented a matching cheque, doubling the amount raised to $24,452.14,91裸聊视频 she said. 91裸聊视频淭he funds raised will go a long way in helping us provide necessary medical support, and then find loving homes for the animals in our care.91裸聊视频 

There were more than 30 Scotiabank volunteers who worked to raise funds during the event. 

The average cost of care for an animal at OHS is approximately $300. 

91裸聊视频淲ith the funds raised through this partnership, OHS will be able to assist up to 80 animals. This comes at a crucial time, as OHS is currently in the midst of its busiest rescue season, with over 300 animals in care as of July 11,91裸聊视频 said Adams. 

She added that more than 199 of these animals are kittens, and new cases continue to pour in daily. 

As a foster-based, volunteer-powered organization, 95 per cent of every dollar raised goes directly to medical care for animals. In addition to its Rescue Program, OHS also makes spay/neuter accessible to low-income families to help prevent pet overpopulation and end the unnecessary suffering of animals. 

In 2023, OHS assisted more than 2,500 animals. 

91裸聊视频淎lready this year that number is above 2,000 and on track to double by the end of 2024,91裸聊视频 explained Adams.
