GIVING BACK
I believe it's important to give back to the community. As a dog and animal lover, I want to help local rescues, shelters and pet charity organisations to support pets find their furever homes and also help to improve the wellbeing of pets and animals.
CANBERRA PAWS CALENDAR CONTEST
2020 is the first year where I launched the Canberra Paws 2021 Pet Calendar Contest. The charity organisation I chose for this year was the ACT Pet Crisis Support. My target goal was $2,000 but I exceeded this goal by a lot raising AU$10,957. In 2021 we managed to beat the previous year's goal with your help and raised just over $12,000. These funds will assist ACT Pet Crisis Support with helping disadvantaged pet owners keep their pets healthy by contributing towards medical bills that would otherwise result in euthanasia. All donations go directly towards medical bills.
I will be holding the pet calendar contest annually choosing a different charity each year. If you're a pet charitable organisation and would like to participate, please don't hesitate to contact me.
BOOK PROJECTS
In January 2021 I started my Tails of Canberra fundraising book project. The book is going to be a limited edition coffee table book showcasing photographs of Canberra dogs with various Canberra locations as its backdrop.
Tails of Canberra book is now available to purchase - keep an eye out and check here for updates on future book projects.
