Dog Run Funding Project – NEW UPDATES!
UPDATES!
The original dog run and some of our challenges:
Due to the Nesters and Garbage depot expansion, WAG LOST OUR OUTDOOR GRASS RUN AND TREES!
âWe believe a safe, protected and interactive outdoor place to socialize and exercise is vital for the health and happiness of our shelter dogs who call WAG home. We are looking to the Whistler community and visitors to support our fundraising for a safe and secure fence option,â says Lindsay Suckling, WAG Shelter Operations Manager.
Why is WAG choosing solid fencing?
âWAG is committed to reducing kennel stress and to socialize our animals,â says Suckling. âOur dog-run has always been an essential space in maintaining our standards of animal welfare and socialization. Due to these unforeseen changes, the solid fence is of vital importance and we hope our Whistler community and broader dog-loving community will support us with our fundraising efforts.â
Hereâs what you can do to help the animals at WAG:

WAG would like to take this opportunity to formally thank the following donors:
A very special thank you to The James Upton Foundation: Without his initial enthusiasm and support for this project, we may never have gotten it off the ground! This $25,000 contribution is vital to the success of the overall project and we are honored and grateful to have received this support.
Our community for their donations and overwhelming understanding and support of this important project.
The Rotary Club of Whistler for their extremely generous grant contribution.
We are also excited to announce that construction has been delayed, which means we can keep our existing dog run and trees for the winter and we will have more time to fund raise over the winter if needed!
Thank you again to our community, foundations, and donorsâŚstay tuned for more updates!
