The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder and the holiday season is ramping up. This can be a joyous time of year for many and can be stressful and even depressing for others. Remember that you are not alone. Earlier this year, the City of Toronto expanded the Toronto Community Crisis Service citywide. If you or someone you know is struggling, contact the Toronto Community Crisis Service by calling 2-1-1 to be connected with free, 24/7 assistance for mental health crises.

Do you know what’s the best part about big dogs🐶? Their big hearts of course💗 Big dogs have so much love to give, and they will brighten up any home. Unfortunately, it usually takes big dogs far more time to be adopted once they enter the shelter system. So, if you’re looking for a canine companion, consider giving one of our big shelter dogs the best gift this holiday season: a forever home🏡 Can’t adopt but still want to help? Then consider donating to Toronto Animal Services, where 100% of your contribution goes toward supporting the animals in our care while they wait for their new family. A tax receipt will be provided for donations of over $20. For more: https://lnkd.in/g2UeWRgD
