The Estevan Rotary Club made quite a few creatures happy when they made a recent donation to the Estevan Humane Society. 

"We requested a donation from the Rotary Club to help us fund a commercial grade washing machine for our shelter." explains Jane Howard, who sits on the board of the Humane Society. "And they were kind enough to oblige and they gave us $9000. That will go towards the purchase of a washing machine that better meets our needs."

She explains that at an animal shelter, the stress that a washing machine goes through is very high.

"With animals, you have fur, you have rocks, you have dirt and we go through quite a few washing machines."

The Humane society is also looking forward to more fundraising events, 

"Western Financial is hosting a BBQ for us on the 5th of May and this weekend, we will be at Pet Value doing an adoption drive. We will have some animals there with adoption applications. On the 28th of May, is our 6th annual Dr. Howard Dog Jog."
