The Lakefield Animal Welfare Society is a non-profit organization which was established in 1992 by a group of women with a goal of rescuing stray, injured and abused animals in the area. They work hard to find homes for even the most difficult to place animals. 

The Lakefield Animal Welfare Society is able to help hundreds of animals a year through their programs, and rely entirely on private donations to operate their organization.

“The organizers are so excited to wrap up another incredible year," says one of the founding members of 100 Women Peterborough, Wendy Hill. “We are very lucky to have an incredible community of women come together to support organizations such as the Lakefield Animal Welfare Society—we are making a difference." 

One hundred percent of the funds raised by the membership are donated to four non-profit organizations determined by the membership throughout the year. Women that are interested in joining the group are encouraged to reach out via the website here.
