Steveston Buddist Church Christmas Craft Sale

Posted on by

These girls all have pets at home and have a passion for helping animals. They love to visit Raps and have seen why donations are needed. This is the 2nd annual craft fair (Steveston Buddist Church Christmas Craft Sale) the girls have done with all proceeds going to Raps! Together, they worked very hard and made homemade dog treats, doggie “goodie bags”, cupcakes, loafs, Almond Roca, Homemade chocolates, Homemade Jam, Tarts, Jello, Fudge, marshmellow snowmen etc. and some crafts. Last year the girls raised $162.00, so they are surprised and proud to double their donation ($351.24) this year! Way to Go Girls!

The Petnership Project

Posted on by

RAPS had a very successful weekend at the Petnership Project in Kitsilano Vancouver! We manned a booth for both days of the event where we educated the public on the good work we do. Many people were surprised to find out that we feed our dogs a holistic raw food diet! They were even further impressed that we operate North America’s Largest Cat Sanctuary! Our moment of glory came at the Adoptable Dog Parade. 10 of RAPS Adoptable Dogs were displayed in a festive parade. Thanks to Christine’s Grooming Studio they were decked out in ribbons and bows! Boy did they look great! Each dog was on it’s best behaviour, we were so proud of them all!

Thanks to all the volunteers who dedicated their time to this event.
