My friend Laura, owner of Curious Snoots and a true light in the local dog community, needs our help. This week, Laura suffered a serious ankle injury that has brought her business to a sudden halt. As someone who relies entirely on her mobility to walk dogs and provide care, this setback isn’t just painful - it’s devastating.

Laura is the kind of person who always shows up for others. Whether it’s through her compassionate work with client dogs or through volunteering at the New Westminster Animal Shelter, she radiates kindness, empathy, and positivity. Her dream has always been to use her love of dogs to give back, and she’s done just that, day after day, dog after dog.

But right now, Laura needs us to show up for her.

Being a small business owner is no easy feat, and an injury like this can be catastrophic. Without the ability to work, Laura is facing months of recovery and a mountain of uncertainty. This fundraiser is a way for our community to lift her up - to ease her financial stress while she heals, and to help keep Curious Snoots alive so she can get back to doing what she loves most: helping dogs and the people who love them.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. Even if all you can do is share this story, any help is appreciated. Let’s come together and support someone who’s given so much of herself to others. Laura deserves to rest and recover without the fear of losing everything she’s built.

Thank you for helping keep her dream alive!!
