Rescue needs more and more volunteers all the time.

Currently in Rescue organizations, there is a small group of people doing the work. We don’t want these wonderful people to burn out.

You can help in many ways:

Provide a permanent home:
Rescue dogs need their own loving homes. While they are always sad to leave their foster parents, as are the foster parents sad to see them go, they need a home, and loving parents of their own.

Provide a foster home:
Foster homes are needed in all areas of Canada. This is the most pressing need in rescue. The volunteers who do foster work find it very rewarding. But more often than not, they are home to a couple of foster dogs and after a while, the volunteers suffer burn-out.

Do referrals, footwork, paperwork, etc:
If fostering is not an option, people are always needed to do the footwork, assessments, referrals and paperwork. Rescue can be quite a demanding commitment, but the end result leaves a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Donations and fund-raising:
As with any worthy cause, money is needed. Vet bills, travel expenses, general daily upkeep on the dogs, etc all cost money. While the spay/neuter and vaccination costs are paid back to rescue by the new owner, anything over and above this is a cost absorbed by Rescue.

People are always needed to raise funds so the Rescue work may continue. And, as rescue expands, more dogs are eligible for rescue and more people are involved, the expenses increase with the volume.

These are just a few of the ways you can help Rescue.
