A HUGE thank you to
GDHS wishes to thank Songwood Contracting for donating their time and expertise to building our new bottle return shed. With wood reclaimed from donated wood pallets, the team from Songwood has built an attractive enclosure to safely store the cans and bottles that people donate to the shelter.
The bottle return donations are a major source of income for GDHS, and without our bottle return enclosure, many people were asking if we were still accepting donations Building the enclosure tells the world that we are accepting bottles and cans for return to the LCBO. TELL YOUR FRIENDS and FAMILY! |

All of our adoptable pets are neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to being available for adoption.
We do not receive guaranteed funding and rely on the generosity of our community.
