A special ceremony at the Swift Current SPCA April 15 marked a new partnership between themselves and Great Plains College.
The College adopted their Doberman Pincher mascot from the SPCA and, in turn, made a $400 donation to the SPCA Kennel Club.
Lisa Dyck is the shelter manager at the SPCA and says the money will be put to good use. Dyck says the new partnership is a great fit and will provide great exposure for Great Plains College and the SPCA.
