Canine Donors Needed: Saturday, July 6th! ๐จ๐ฉธHereโs a behind-the-scenes peek at sweet Serenaโs first donation at our last blood donor event in partnership with the Canadian Animal Blood Bank.

If you have a large, healthy dog (25+ kg) between the ages of 1-8, send us a message to learn more about becoming a blood donor ๐พ ๐ฉธ We hope to see you Saturday!
