Pat Culhane Legacy Circle

“Pat was truly exceptional, like so many others who have left a legacy gift to QHS. Pat, however, was one of a kind” declared Donna Endicott, Chair of QHS Board of Directors. “She had such a deep and genuine devotion for the underprivileged, marginalized and vulnerable and of course for abused, neglected and abandoned companion animals. Her enormous contribution to the Quinte Humane Society will forever be treasured and her wisdom will continue to guide us towards a better future for the animals and a new home for QHS.”

It is only fitting and appropriate that QHS recognizes her contribution to the organization, the community as well as her leadership on City Council with the launch of The Pat Culhane Legacy Circle.

“When we were young, we were a family of 12 and animals were not allowed in the house until someone sneaked in a little rabbit we named Peetail. How we loved that rabbit. Once, he escaped and a frantic search was launched. He was found huddling on the steps of our family’s church. From that rabbit our love for animals grew. How proud we were of our sister, Pat, when she joined the board of the Quinte Humane Society and, with her colleagues there, worked so hard to improve the lives of the dear animals in their care. From that time on, at every party or celebration in our lives, a glass bottle appeared for donations to the society.
