Rob Smylie loves animals. He believes that pets should have the same opportunities for life saving care as humans do.
After hearing a report about oxygen masks for pets, he thought to himself, “I’m going to do this—I’m going to get some of these masks.”
Smylie went to work to find out as much as he could about the product.
In April, Smylie donated O2 Fur Life® kits from WAG’N Pet Safety Gear to the Princeton Fire Department, Princeton Extrication Society and to Princeton Ground Search and Rescue.
Since then, with the assistance of generous people who love their animals and their community, Smylie has acquired and presented kits to the volunteer fire departments of: Hedley, Keremeos, Eastgate, Erris, Hayes Creek, Tumbler Ridge and to the Princeton Exhibition Association (PXA). Smylie had wanted to give a kit to the Tulameen Volunteer Fire Department, but was happy to find out that they already own one.
Smylie wants to outfit the rescue/fire teams in Hedley, Osprey, Eastgate, Tulameen and Hayes Creek areas, as well as the Princeton Exhibition Grounds. (PXA)
Smylie has received a couple of offers of financial assistance that he is thankful for.
“If you want to help, I’ll pick up the ball and run with you,” he said.
If you would like to help Rob Smylie achieve his goal of outfitting our area crews, please give him a call at 250-295-3132 after 6 p.m.
