Be a buddy to the Easter bunny

Fri, Mar 20, 2009

As Easter approaches and the shelves in the supermarkets are beginning to fill with chocolate eggs; consider an ISPCA thoughtful gift in lieu of adding another chocolate egg to the already overcrowded mantelpiece. Becoming a Buddy to a Bunny is a great way to help the many animals that depend on us and they make fantastic gifts for your friends and family at the same time! Simply choose the item you would like to gift and we’ll make sure the money goes where it’s really needed. We have a new range of gift ideas for all price ranges to suit every pocket. For each thoughtful gift purchased, a beautify certificate is sent out in acknowledgement. For further information, visit www.ispca.ie.
