    Snow White, a beautiful Great Pyrenes was neglected by her caregiver. Free roaming on a rural property alongisde three other dogs, she was forced to fight for her food.

    Being the smallest and weakest of the four, she was bullied away from her food.

    When our peace officers were called out to the property, she was emaciated and needed urgent veterinary care.

    Thankfully, we were able to rescue her and get her the help she needed while ensuring the other dogs were safe too.

    She found her way into a new, loving home where she began to heal.

    Your lottery purchase helps fund the rescue and care of animals like Snow White.

    Get your tickets below and support animal welfare in Alberta today.

    (a) deprived of adequate shelter, ventilation, space, food, water or veterinary care or reasonable protection from injurious heat or cold,
    (b) injured, sick, in pain or suffering, or
    (c) abused or subjected to undue hardship, privation or neglect.
