Operation Kennel Break: Local radio hosts raise money during Adopt-a-thon campaign at KWSP Humane Society

CTV’s Alexandra Pinto finds out why two radio hosts for BOUNCE 99.5 were locked up at the KWPS Humane Society.

Angie and Sarge of BOUNCE 99.5 were picked up as “strays” Friday and locked in a kennel at the Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth.

The pair were hoping to raise $5,000 for the Better Together Campaign, coinciding with the shelter’s adopt-a-thon event, Fur the Love of Summer.

The Better Together Capital Campaign is dedicated to ensuring every pet and family in the community receives the support they need.

All funds raised would go to a new outreach centre which would offer services such as outreach vet care and community services.

“It’s fun,” explained Angie Hill. “Something to bring awareness to the Humane Society. We love the dogs and cats.”

Both Angie and Sarge were freed Friday afternoon once they surpassed their $5,000 goal.

There are more than 40 animals looking for their forever homes at the Kitchener shelter, including kittens, puppies, rabbits and turtles.
