The Peterborough Humane Society has received a $25,000 donation from Kawartha Downs Raceway.
The money will be distributed to the ‘Our Pet Project’ capital campaign to build the Peterborough Animal Care Centre.
“Kawartha Downs provides entertainment for families and supports the community. We are also all animal lovers here! Kawartha Downs is very proud of our community partnership with the Peterborough Animal Care Centre!” shared Summer Nickerson-Hagen, Kawartha Downs. “Kawartha Downs would like to recognize the hard work and dedication of the Peterborough Animal Care Centre in caring for our community’s most vulnerable pets.”
“Support from local businesses like Kawartha Downs is extremely important to the success of this project. This new Centre will set a new standard in animal wellness and care, Peterborough will be part of a Canadian-first, which will support our local businesses and community. We are grateful for these relationships, they are a true representation of what makes our region so remarkable!” says Shawn Morey, Executive Director at Peterborough Humane Society.
In recognition of this generous gift, a dog adoption suite will be named in honour of Kawartha Downs and will also be recognized on the Donor Wall located in the lobby.
The Peterborough Animal Care Centre will be over 24,000 square feet and include a state-of-the art Animal Adoption & Education Centre, Publicly Accessible & High-Volume Spay/Neuter Clinic and a Provincial Dog Rehabilitation Centre.
