Peppa is running for mayor because when she wants something her piggie family knows to just give it to her. Peppa believes she will win the election because if she wants it - it will happen.
Peppa's Background
There is nothing sadder in rescue than a little starving pig. Peppa Pig was found wandering by Chilliwack Animal Control and she was in pretty poor shape. She had a body score of one due to malnutrition, was missing half of one of her ears, had an 8-inch thick scar across her head with an unhealed wound at the end, her feet were in bad shape, and she had mange. Peppa has been at SAINTS since February 2020. Four years later she is no longer emaciated, no longer a sad sight, and kind of the queen of the barnyard.
The year 2024 is notable for the many elections it will hold. Canada alone will conduct 3 provincial elections, with BC being one of them. Soooo... the SAINTS residents thought why not hold our own election? We have always referred to SAINTS as a village or community so therefore we should have a mayor. We changed the The Amazing Raise into a mayoral RACE and the one who RAISES the most dollars becomes our inaugural mayor.

4. Peppa's Page
HOW DO YOU VOTE:
Pick your candidate by clicking on the name of who you would like to see as our first mayor. The click will take you to a page where you can donate (because this is a fundraiser disguised as an election) Each $1 donated equals 1 vote and the candidate with the most dollars becomes the mayor of Saintsville. Dollars collected by each candidate will then be donated to the shelter.
WHAT THE MONEY RAISED WILL GO TO:
This year we are going to concentrate on two goals
1. Raise money for a new van. We purchased a used van with funds raised from the 2016 The Amazing Raise. But since the summer of 2023 we have been having issues with it. We would like a reliable van that is more in line with hauling animals and sometimes large items such as stacks of hay. Below is an example of the type of van we would like to purchase.
2. WangWang needs TPLO
surgeryon both his back legs. WangWang is just under 8 years old
and is still quite an active dog that loves chasing balls. We did not
want to deprive him of one of his favorite activities. We have been
quoted $6000 per leg. Whether we raise the money or not... WangWang
will have his surgery. He is already tentatively booked for his first
surgery. If he heals easily he will have the second surgery 6 weeks
later. But don't let his injuries make you feel he is not
"fit" to be the mayor of Saintsville. He is still is a
shepherd full to brim with personality.
Highlights
See all activity58We are the Senior Animals in Need Today Society - SAINTS. We provide shelter and care for senior and special needs animals, of all different species. Our sanctuary is a haven where these special souls can be loved and cherished, and receive proper care, for the rest of their days.
To provide a safe haven for senior, palliative and special needs animals.
SAINTS is a place for senior and special needs animals who have no place else to go. In our care they receive appropriate medical attention, live in a safe and open environment, and get to enjoy their remaining years being celebrated for who they are as individuals.
If, in time, we can find them a special home of their own then we do. If that very special home never comes, they will be safe and cherished right here with us until the end of their days.
