Fort Nelson animal rescue thanks Fort St. John Co-op for $700 donation

FORT NELSON, B.C. — North Paw Animal Rescue is using a $700 donation to help two dogs find their forever home.

Lori Schoroth, the non-profit’s administrator, thanked the Fort St. John Co-op for its $700 donation in an April 1st Facebook post.

Schoroth told Energeticity.ca the donation is “super helpful” to her organization, which is constantly busy with animals in need. 

“We’re always getting animals…it’s just never ending,” said Schoroth.

She said the money will help two dogs she picked up on April 8th, whose owner did not have the means to provide for them. 

The dog breeds are not known but Schoroth suspects they are mixed labradors. 

The Fort St. John Co-op decided to donate to the rescue after collecting donations from its 2024 community BBQ event.

Schoroth says the North Paw Animal Rescue is also trying to renovate its facility in Fort Nelson in preparation for a grand re-opening in May, for which a date has not yet been set.

“The public can come see the facility and all the work we’ve done, and meet any of the animals that we have in our care,” said Schoroth.
