Each year’s winner is to exemplify the Spirit of Clancy. A spirit that would never quit under any circumstance, a spirit that was always attentive to my needs and would always pick me up on days that I struggled to go on.
The criteria for the Clancy Award are that the candidate must be a dog that has been rescued from a SPCA, Humane Society, stray or an inspector seizure. The dog needs to exemplify an outstanding bond between the owner and the dog as well as the community in which they live. The dog may be honored posthumously or currently living with its owner.
Nomination forms can be picked up at the Fredericton SPCA, but must be returned no later than Saturday May 1st, 2010. A panel of judges will review the nominations and will contact the winning owner by phone. A name plate will be placed on the Clancy Award Plaque on the wall of the Fredericton SPCA and the owner will be presented with the award at Rainbow Bridge, 150 Riverside Drive, Fredericton on May 29, 2010 at 2:00 PM
The Clancy Memorial Award was set up to honour my dog Clancy, who was not only my companion and service dog, but also my heart and soul. She was not just a dog, but rather my best friend. It is this connection that I want to celebrate with others, and hear their stories of undying love and devotion that they experienced with their dogs, as I had with Clancy. This is the foundation of the Clancy Memorial Award.
