Pet Valu in Cochrane has been collecting pet supplies and cash donations for their annual “Thanks For Giving” fundraiser throughout the month of October. Everything raised will be split between the Cochrane and Area Humane Society and Garcia Rescue. 

The owner of Pet Valu Cochrane, Sylvia Penner says their customers have been amazing this month. “Our goal is to raise $5000 in donations and we're currently sitting around $3600. I think we're gonna hit it, which is very exciting!”

 “Huge thanks to our very generous customers, I dropped off almost 1000 pounds in cat litter, which is crazy! I didn’t need to go to the gym that day.”

While the end of the month marks the end of the fundraiser, Penner says that their doors are always open for donations. “The 31st is the last day we take donations but at any time, people can always drop off donations or leave donations here as well. We do it all year long. October we just really drive for and really try to get them what they need, hopefully for winter”
