You’ve seen the community board at your local pet store, heard about fundraising events on the radio, and read the heartwarming stories in the news about pets that are desperately trying to find their forever home.

You've probably thought about bringing in that stray cat or dog in your neighbourhood, but for most people, that’s just not an option.

Many of us aren't prepared to take on the responsibility, financial burden, or headaches and stress of caring for a scared, sick or anxious pet. Fortunately, we can help these animals in other ways; By supporting the people who can save them.

You may be familiar with some of the rescues in your area and may have even rescued a pet yourself, but there are more ways you can help support these organizations than just adoption.

Most of what a pet rescue does involves the intake, assessment, and care of these animals before they can be adopted out.

Our goal is to make a difference in our community. Rescues make a difference in our community, so we have chosen to work with our local rescues to provide assistance and support.

How Can You Help?

Can’t adopt? That’s ok, not everyone can, but there are many other things you can do to help these animals find a loving family.

Rescues need community support to do what they do, and there are plenty of ways that you can get involved.

Donate Money

Non-profit rescues rely on donations from the community. This money is used to cover vet bills, the cost of transportation, and the supplies needed to feed and care for them until they find their forever homes.

Donate Your Time

Not everyone can afford a donation, but that doesn't mean you can’t help. Rescues are always looking for volunteers to help organize events, help with rescue initiatives, pick up donations, and more.

001

Donate Supplies

Taking care of animals with a wide range of needs means that rescues go through lots of supplies. Check out the Rescue Profiles below to find out what some of our local rescue partners need most.

002

Foster

A lack of foster homes is one of the biggest limiting factors for most rescues today. Finding temporary placements that can accommodate animals with health issues, behavioural issues, and pets of all ages is something that rescues are always on the lookout for.

003

Spread Awareness

The more people hear about local rescues, the more support they will get. Sharing their stories and initiatives on social media, on local community boards, and even by word of mouth helps them get more donors, more volunteers, and in the end, more pets adopted.
