Coming up on Saturday, May 9, volunteers will spend one hour in a kennel at the Humane Society\u2019s Lansdowne location to raise funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have to raise bail in order to get broken out of their kennel, so we put them in one of the dog shelter kennels here at the shelter and they have to call their friends or family, text, email, do whatever they have to do in order to raise the amount of bail money that they\u2019ve set for themselves in order to be broken out. This really allows people to get an opportunity to see what it\u2019s like to be an animal in the shelter and in one of the kennels,\u201d explained the Humane Society\u2019s Events and Fund Development Manager Amanda Holmes.<\/p>\n<p>The event goes from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Holmes adds from 11:00-2:00 there will also be a barbecue, face painting, and games, so she encourages everyone to get in on the fun and support the Humane Society\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cost of medical care for these animals that come in is astronomical. We\u2019re always getting babies, kittens that need to be bottle fed that require special formula, dogs that need special dietary food for their stomachs or. There\u2019s so much going on that we need support for here, between the medical, food, shelter, keeping the lights on, everything costs a lot of money,\u201d Holmes said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The kennel lock-in gives people a glimpse into what it feels like to be one of the dogs&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650333,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[49,48,66],"class_list":["post-650332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
