This promotion is made possible through the generosity of two enthusiastic dog lovers, Floranna Bryant and Dorothy Mapes, who made a special bequest to our furry friends by creating the Bryant-Mapes Fund for the Care of Dogs. This year, the fund administrator offered to match each donation made to the Montreal SPCA by December 31, up to a maximum of $100,000!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis matching gift campaign is an extraordinary\nopportunity. It will help us start the new year with momentum and continue as\nleaders in animal protection. I invite all those who can to make a donation, the\nvalue of which will be doubled, so we can help even more animals in 2020!\u201d said\n\u00c9lise Desaulniers, executive director of the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relying primarily on donations from the public, the Montreal SPCA takes\nin and cares for anywhere from 600 to 1,600 animals each month. Whatever their\nstatus \u2014 newborn, older, lost, neglected, mistreated, sick, injured or nearing\nthe end of their lives \u2014 all animals receive the care and attention they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funds raised through this year-end campaign will help the Montreal\nSPCA continue its mission, which consists of protecting animals from neglect,\nabuse and exploitation, representing their interests and ensuring their well-being,\nraising public awareness and helping develop compassion for all sentient\nbeings. The organization also plans to complete the renovation of its kennels,\nwhich began in 2019, with a view to sheltering abandoned or stray dogs in a\nless stressful environment, as well as saving more orphaned kittens as part of its\nneonatal program, which will continue in 2020 for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is thanks to the continued support of our donors that we can offer each\nanimal who comes through our doors what they need to prepare for their new\nlife, in addition to continuing our efforts to raise awareness among the public\nand various levels of government,\u201d said Ms. Desaulniers. \u201cAt the Montreal SPCA,\nwe work tirelessly each day to give a second chance to the animals entrusted to\nus and to foster a society that is more respectful of all sentient beings. Thank\nyou to all of our supporters, without whom none of this would be possible!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People who wish to donate to the matching gift campaign may do so online at <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/en\/your-gift-will-be-doubled\/\"><strong>spca.com<\/strong><\/a><strong> or by calling<\/strong> <a href=\"tel:18663667722\">1-866-366-7722<\/a> <strong>by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Montreal\nSPCA \u2013<\/strong> Founded in\n1869, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (now known simply as\nthe Montreal SPCA) was the first animal-welfare organization in Canada.\nCelebrating its 150th anniversary this year, the Montreal SPCA is now the\nlargest animal protection organization in Quebec, speaking on behalf of animals\nwherever there is ignorance, cruelty, exploitation, or neglect.
