2010-2013: Teaming up with The Gilford, Thornton & Barrie South Lions Clubs, we sponsoredan additional SIX Hearing-Ear Dogs, and ONE Autism-Assistance Dog for The Lions Foundationof Canada Dog Guide Program .

After 2014's Paws for a Cause Event, Pet Country Estate and the "RU ReadyAgility" Team made a joint donation of $2,540, at the Innisfil-StroudCommunity Centre.  In 2015,another $3,000was added to this total after a special one day-only Fall Agility Trial.  We upheld this tradition in2016 donating another $1,280 to The Lions Foundation of Canada...and the results speak for themselves!

November 10th, 2016: Combining & matching RU Ready Agility's September 2015 &2016 Fall Agility Fundraising Totals has allowed us to sponsor:  Bernard & Hearing-Ear Dog "ZIPPY".
