Lending a hand to furry friends in Burnaby
BY JENNIFER MOREAU, BURNABY NOW DECEMBER 30, 2011
Burnaby's homeless cats and dogs were a bit more comfortable this Christmas, thanks to the fundraising efforts of a 12-year-old boy named Kyle Boutilier.
The Surrey Grade 7 student rallied his schoolmates and collected roughly $1,000 of dollars worth of supplies and food for animals at the Burnaby SPCA.
"I have a dog, and I've done fundraisers in the past, and I thought: Why don't I do something different? Instead of doing it for people, why don't I do it for animals?" he said.
Kyle collected leashes, dog food, toys, blankets and towels mostly from schoolmates and his dad's colleagues.
"I'd just like to say thank you to anybody who donated," Kyle said.
