Pop-Up Rescue Provides Numerous Fundraising Opportunities

by Shanine Sealey

Since the end of January, a group of dedicated individuals have worked tirelessly to care for, and find loving homes for over 130 dogs that were rescued from a northern Saskatchewan community.


This project was spearheaded by Kristine O’Brien of Paws Republic Centre for Pets and From the Streetz Rescue Foundation, with help from other rescue organizations across the country, countless volunteers and donations from organizations, businesses, rescues and more.


An undertaking such as this does not come cheap and the medical costs are adding up. Dogs are getting vaccinated, de-wormed, having surgeries, giving birth, getting spayed or neutered and everything else required to ensure they are taken care of before going into their new homes.


There are numerous ways to help support this initiative. You can volunteer your time to help walk, feed, clean, wash laundry and provide love to the dogs that are still in the care of the Pop-Up Rescue Project. You can send donations to help support the rising vet costs, and can also take part in one of the numerous fundraisers that is taking place.


There will be an online silent auction coming up, which will include an assortment of amazing prizes. If you are interested in donating an item to help support this fundraiser, contact the Pop-Up Rescue Project on Facebook, or drop-off an item to 111 9th Street North in Martensville.


There is also a Family Day Challenge taking place from February 16th to March 4th where you have a chance to win a Family Photo Session, which includes a 45-60 minute session in Saskatoon and the surrounding area, with up to 6 people and over 25 artistically edited images that you are free to print and distribute as you wish. You can enter by simply donating your recyclables at SARCAN Drop n’ Go in the province and using the Group Name Pop-Up Rescue Project and Group Phrase: #101.


Take a photo of your print out tags and post your photo in the comment section for this fundraiser on the Pop-Up Rescue Project Facebook page and you will be entered into the draw. You can also challenge your friends and family to participate and get additional entries for their contributions as well. For children that are participating, there is a separate draw for them to win a gift card to Crumble Cookies. The draw for this will take place on March 4th.


You can also purchase raffle tickets for $3 each or two for $5 for a chance to win prizes such as gift cards to a wide variety of local businesses, swag bags, wine baskets, pet supplies and much more.
