With just over a month to go until Christmas, non-profit Irish company ELVES has announced the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) as its official charity partner.
PJ Gallagher and Jim McCabe were on hand to join ELVES as media partner and celebrate the news of the official charity partnership and recognise the vital role played by the ISPCA in safeguarding the well-being of animals across Ireland.
They dynamic duo said this significant contribution underscores ELVES dedication to fostering a compassionate society and addressing the needs of animals in distress. Reflecting a shared commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of animals and promoting responsible pet ownership.
“As two animal lovers, we are thrilled to champion the ISPCA and its dedication to the welfare of animals . Remember dogs, and all pets are not just for Christmas they are companions for life – kind of like our listeners, without the peeing outside and licking them. We hope that by promoting ELVES generous contribution it will inspire others to jump on board and contribute to the incredible work carried out by the ISPCA. There is an enduring bond between humans and their animal companions, look at me and Jim, not many people know that he’s 98% gorilla. We want to highlight the importance of responsible care throughout the entire life of a pet,” the beloved hosts and cereal messers on ‘Morning Glory’ on Radio Nova said.
