The charity has provided over 16,000 pet food hampers, nearly 1,600 pet packs for the homeless and 625 for victims of domestic abuse since Jan. 1, 2021
Melissa David knows the importance of having a pet for an individual’s mental health.
She was single and said her only companion was her dog Charlie, who not only kept up her spirits but forced her to get out of the house. David, who is now 39, has secured a 12,000-square-foot warehouse, located on Calgary’s light rail transit line, that she is turning into a pet advocacy centre. She picked up the keys this week after the “stars aligned” and the landlord was looking for a non-profit to take over the space.
David, who quit her job as an RCMP analyst in December, has invested her life savings into the project, which should open its doors in September.
