We are the only "Special Medical Needs" rescue in Ontario for dogs.
We
also went and helped hands on during Hurricane Katrina with the
animals (30 hour drive each way) We also recently took in 4 special needs
cats from Beirut Lebanon!
Our love for these "special ones" is overwhelming. We are small in
size (have to be with the type of critters we take in!!) but we get them
everything they need medically, physically, and most of all
unconditional love in there greatest time of need.
If they find a great new forever homes we are pleased as punch, if not,
they remain at the Sanctuary and become "Permanent Residents" and are
treated like family members until their final day..
We are a registered Charity here in Canada as well and as these
critters in need cost quite a bit more than your average healthy kitty or
puppy all donations are appreciated! they are extra cost, work..however
the rewards are overwhelming..they do love and appreciate the extra care
we take..and show us that everyday :)
The Northumberland Humane Society, Port Hope, ON, Canada
The Northumberland Humane Society (NHS) is a charitable community
resource
dedicated to protecting and providing temporary shelter and comfort to
all
animals in need and promoting adoption and re-homing for abandoned,
abused
and unwanted companion animals. We promote humane treatment of all
living things and work within the law to respond to and investigate all
complaints of cruelty and neglect. The NHS endeavours to eliminate cruelty and
over-population and we support
the principle that no person has the right to cause pain and suffering
to
any living creature.Going Above and Beyond:
Even though the NHS is a small shelter, the staff strive to rescue as many pets as possible. Often times, our rescue reaches across the Canadian border into the USA (when kennel space is available) to save countless lives of dogs and puppies who would otherwise be euthanized due to lack of space. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans the NHS was able to rescue three dogs and two puppies.
“Saving just one animal will not change the world, but surely the world will change for that one animal.” Unknown
The actual shelter was built in 1982. In 1998, the NHS became an affilaite of the Ontario SPCA and although the NHS still follows the same policies and procedures of the OSPCA, it is financially independent of the head office. This means that money raised in Northumberland County stays in Northumberland County! The Northumberland Humane Society is made up of a volunteer Board of Directors. The staff at the local shelter, volunteers at both the Thrift Shop and the shelter and an active membership base are what has made this shelter successful. The Board of Directors direct the local operations of the Society and work cooperatively with the shelter staff to provide humanitarian services to the local and sometimes far-reaching animal population

Greater Victoria Animals’ Crusaders (GVAC) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1973. GVAC’s main mandate is to provide funding to spay and neuter abandoned and stray cats and dogs in the Greater Victoria area and to also assist low income families with these and other veterinary costs.
GVAC also pays veterinarian costs for injured abandoned and abused animals. Once they are healthy we place them into loving permanent homes. We have hundreds of animals up for adoption which are all listed on our web page. We do not have a shelter so all our animals are placed into foster homes until a forever home can be found.
GVAC is completely supported by volunteer help and financial donations that are tax deductible. No financial help is received from any Government Agency. 100% of all donations go to save animals.
Animal Care Centre
Founded in 1978, by Gertie Dieleman, the Animal Care Centre was originally
developed to provide Animal Control and Licensing for area Townships. In
1992, our Kennel was built to accommodate Boarding and Grooming services.
We are located west of London, Ontario in the heart of Middlesex county.
Ours is the only government inspected Boarding Kennel in Middlesex county.
Our trained and experienced staff are prepared to handle all of your pet Boarding
and Grooming requirements.
As well as Boarding and Grooming we continue to do Animal Control and Licensing
for surrounding Townships.
At the Animal Care Centre, we believe that all healthy and sociable animals
should have a loving and clean environment until a suitable home is found.
Our state of the art facility is home to one of the largest pet Adoption Centres
in the area.
1ATATIME RESCUE WITHOUT BORDERS
We believe that all lives have value regardless of their location and as such
we are a rescue 'without borders.' In two years of being in operation, 1atatime
has found homes for over 200 death row animals (dogs and cats). The majority
of these animals were rescued from over-crowded high-kill facilities in Louisiana
where the affects of Hurricane Katrina are still wreaking havoc. That area
had serious over-population and animal welfare issues before the disaster hit.
We are committed to continuing our rescue efforts in the southern USA as our
rescue partners are extremely over-taxed due to the overwhelming number of
animals needing assistance.
