History of the Fund
Northerners love and care for their animals. Bella was a typical Northern Special NWT SPCA rescue… a six week husky beagle cross from a community north of Yellowknife. To no one’s surprise, with her charming and lovable personality, she made a Foster Failure out of her mom, Amanda Mallon. Bella lived an energetic adventurous happy 12 years supported by a loving community and wonderful vet clinics with dedicated, committed staff.
It is hoped that this program will attract and retain qualified animal support workers.
