Hey Saskatoon, how are you? Us? Well, we’re not great. In fact, we’re in a crisis here at Planet S and without immediate support from our customers and past supporters I’m afraid we’ll have to shut our doors very soon.

How can you help?

By the end of this month, we’re looking for 25 local businesses and organizations who see the value in what we do, who can step up and assist us right now at this critical time to pledge a minimum total of $33,000 in advertising/sponsorship bookings to run over these next 10 crucial weeks (July 2-Sept 8). We can see better times ahead in the fall, but we need to get there first!

Our friends and Best of Saskatoon winners at Pet Care have already stepped up with a summer advertising campaign. Look for them in this week’s PS Insider.❤

Will you join Furbaby Pet Care and support local independent media? Do you know someone who can help? Get in touch with us at [email protected]!

(Hmm! Now that a certain news-censoring foreign social media megacorp has helped force Canada's prime minister to resign by supercharging anti-Trudeau propoganda, maybe we'll be able to share direct links on here again soon! Yay! I suppose.)
