People like to help when times are tough, but helping is difficult when you’re being asked to stay at home. Jean Henderson has found a way!
Jean is making masks for those who will need one, and proceeds from her efforts are being donated to the Alberta SPCA.
All materials for the masks are being donated by Jean’s family and friends. The masks are 100% cotton and are adjustable, and as you can see, they are colourful and full of personality. She has shipped them as far away as Quebec. There’s porch pickup available in Edmonton and Sherwood Park.
Anyone who would like to order masks can do so by contacting Jean at [email protected]
Thank you Jean for sharing #pawsitivity.

If your concern is regarding intentional cruelty to
an animal, contact your local police or RCMP. If the
animal is in immediate danger, call 911.
If not, start again.
Stray animals and abandoned animals are different.
An abandoned animal has been intentionally left behind by their owner or caretaker, without proper care or intention to return.
