Peterborough Humane Society Receives $10,000 Donation From Docupet
/Peterborough Humane Society (PHS) has received a donation of $10,000 from the City of Peterborough’s official pet licensing partner, DocuPet announced on Wednesday.
“This donation will go a long way in supporting the care we provide animals in our community. From reuniting animals, taking in strays and surrenders and everything in between, every dollar counts in the care of these animals.” shared Shawn Morey, PHS executive director.
DocuPet is a pet profile, lost pet and licensing solution business that joined PHS in 2019. This donation came from DocuPet’s Safe&Happy Fund that collects automatic donations through designer license tag purchases as well as direct donations.
Licensing fees collected annually contribute to the PHS’s daily operational expenses according to a press release.
To mark the occasion, DocuPet is offering $10 off a regularly priced designer tag for all City of Peterborough pet owners with promo code ‘PTBO10.’

/‘Porch Pirates for Good’ is returning to scour Peterborough to restock the dwindling shelves at Kawartha Food Share (KFS) for May 27.
