A Day of Golf, Generosity, and Saving Pets: Thank You for an Incredible Event

What a day! Our annual Golf for Pets event at Mad River Golf Club was nothing short of extraordinary. Seventy-two passionate golfers gathered, not just for a day on the course, but for a purpose—to make a lasting difference in the lives of pets in need. And make a difference you did. Together, we raised vital funds for thousands of animals across South Georgian Bay who now have a second chance at a better life. 

Your passion was evident. With each swing, you weren’t just playing golf; you were changing lives. By standing with the GTHS, you showed the incredible impact our community can have when we come together, united by a shared belief in the power of pets and the life-changing bond they create. You played with heart—and your support will help pets in need find the care, love, and forever homes they deserve. 

Mother Nature blessed us with perfect weather, setting the stage for an unforgettable day. But the true magic came from the community spirit and generosity that filled the course. It wasn’t just a golf tournament—it was a celebration of compassion, commitment, and the profound difference we can make when we work together. 

Signature events like Golf for Pets are the lifeline that allows the GTHS to continue our mission, and we simply could not do it without you. Whether you were playing, sponsoring, volunteering, or donating, you have helped us write a story of hope for the animals we serve. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.
