Pets: Remembering Bear and Ralphie
Animals are people too, don't ya know?!
Yes I'm being a bit cheeky, but for many of us our animals are our family. One thing that is very apparent for us at Donate A Car Canada, is that Canadians love their pets. It is unconscionable and sad when we discover a pet has been mistreated, lost, or left for dead.

"We only get so many trips around the sun." I heard those words in a recent hit song and it stopped me in my tracks. It's so easy to get caught up in the angst of everyday life – the busyness, the stress, the responsibilities. Why do we allow all the crazy? When it's all said and done so much of it isn't very meaningful anyway. Here at DAC, we know that something as material as your ol' car can make one of those trips around the sun meaningful indeed!
