Not only has this earthquake been terrifying and traumatising for the people of Canterbury, it has also affected our animals. They are scared too.
__
Hundreds of people and their animals are affected and displaced by the earthquake. It is with this in mind, the SPCA Canterbury has set up the PET EMERGENCY EARTHQUAKE FUND to help people and animals in distress over the coming weeks.
__
All donations from the PET EMERGENCY EARTHQUAKE FUND go towards the additional costs needed to support the health, welfare and care of the large numbers of affected animals in Canterbury.
