Animal society in Chilliwack provides critical supplies for pet owners who need a little help
CHILLIWACK — Zoey’s Pawsome Pets Society might have a quirky name, but it does wonders for over 150 pets and their caretakers each month by lending a hand to any four-legged friend in need throughout Chilliwack.
The society, which operates as a non-profit pet food bank, does an exceptional job of ensuring no pet in Chilliwack lacks food or other daily essentials. The non-profit was founded by Zoey and functions with a dedicated roster of volunteers like Jackie Smith, Julie Chadwick, Jann Timmers, Anita Lem, Catherine Lillos, Laurene Thomas, Sandy Heimbigner, Tom Duncan, and Lyndsay King.
“We currently provide assistance to approximately 160 pets each month, ensuring that they do not face hunger,” Jackie Smith told Fraser Valley Today via Facebook Messenger this past week. “Our primary focus is on supporting clients from our Facebook group,(https://facebook.com/groups/636708565944699/). Additionally, we prioritize the needs of the Community Angels seniors program and maintain adequate supplies at the Wellness Center.”
