Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund was started in 2008 by HugABull director Kristen Neratini, with the aim of brightening the holidays for animals in the shelter system.

This initiative was started in memory of Loki, a puppy neglected and abandoned before coming to HugABull. At five months of age, around Christmas 2005, he was adopted by Kristen and his future looked bright. He excelled at obedience, obtained his Canine Good Neighbour certificate, and Kristen knew she found her “heart dog”.
 
Sadly, only three years later Loki passed away due to health issues. Kristen and her partner decided to mark his too-short life with a donation campaign around the holidays, to help the shelter dogs who don’t find a home around Christmas.  Donations are collected and distributed to all dog breeds – and cats too!

Shelters are always stressful, but around the holidays adoptions are slower, shelters are short-staffed, and cold weather means less exercise and stimulation. A delivery of food, treats, bedding, and other supplies goes a long way to brightening their days, and the donations are used well into the following year.

Each year we select local needy shelters and collect donations year-round for dogs and cats:
