The Fort McMurray Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals provides care and a safe haven for more than 1000 homeless, abused and abandoned animals annually within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. The FMSPCA was the first and remains the only not for profit, no-kill animal advocacy organization working in the region since being founded in 1978. Our goal is to ensure every companion animal in the Wood Buffalo community is humanely treated through protection, proper care, public awareness and education. Our comprehensive adoption process and community involvement facilitates lasting bonds and relationships for companion animals, pet owners and the public.

The Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Edmonton (WRSE) is committed to proper environmental stewardship and recognizes the important role we play in conserving Alberta’s native species through services and programs we provide to the community. WRSE is a non-profit, charitable organization that provides compassionate care for injured and orphaned wildlife in Edmonton and surrounding areas. Since 1989, we have helped more than 11,000 birds and mammals receive proper medical treatment with the ultimate goal of returning these animals to their natural habitat. In addition to providing our patients with top quality care, WRSE recognizes the impact of human encroachment on the city’s natural ecosystem; therefore, we provide the Edmonton community with education relating to human-wildlife interaction.

Le Nichoir was founded in 1988 in Vaudreuil-Soulanges. A group of volunteers started taking care of injured and orphaned wild birds in their homes. In 1994, the Centre moved to 637 Main Road, Hudson, QC for the summer months to an old and unwinterized barn. That year, 487 birds were cared for. In 2013, the public brought 1 500 wild birds including hundreds of ducklings to the Centre. Le Nichoir organizes several free public events and workshops. Two full time employees, 4 summer students and over 70 volunteers are at the heart of the Centre's operations. Le Nichoir is unique in Quebec, it has become an important educational and scientific resource. It is the largest rehabilitation centre for song birds in Canada. Le Nichoir is currently raising funds for the construction of the new Wild Bird Conservation Centre. This 4 season facility will replace the unwinterized barn, will have more rehabilitation space and a classroom.

TLC Animal Aid was founded over 20 years ago in Windsor, Ontario by a group of wonderfully caring women. We are a non-profit no-kill animals rescue group. We receive no government funding, but rely solely on donations of our supporters and our fundraising efforts. We take in abandoned, abused, neglected and stray cats and dogs and find them loving homes. They receive all the medical treatment that is necessary and are placed into caring foster homes until a permanent home can be found. We also have a TNR program to help assist with the overpopulation of animals in this area. You can help and give them the life and the love they wish they always had! Donate now, and make a difference.

Unfortunately it can happen that the veterinary care needed to treat a sick or injured animal is more expensive than owners expect. This can force owners to make a heartbreaking choice between coming up with the funds to continue treatment or suspending the treatment and having to consider euthanizing their pet. As part of its mission to give animlas the best possible veterinary care, the DMV Center has created the DMV Foundation. This non profit organization provides financial help to owners whose pets are being treated at the Center and who cannot afford the full cost of the treatment. If you believe that to love animals is to love life, make a donation to the DMV Foundation now.

The Long Point area, comprising 26,250 hectares, was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in April, 1986, the third to be named in Canada and one of 15 biosphere reserves found in this country today. It provides an example of the Great Lakes coastal ecosystem and a unique blend of habitats. Its delicate dunes and marshes teem with songbirds, spawning fish, turtles and frogs. The Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation promotes research, monitoring, community outreach and education, partnerships, and projects that support the goals of biodiversity, conservation and sustainable communities in the Long Point World Biosphere Reserve. We exchange information and work collaboratively with the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association and other biosphere reserves in Canada and internationally. Our UNESCO/MAB Biosphere Reserve designation does not bring with it any new authorities over lands, water or resources.

National Service Dogs pioneered service dog training for children with autism in 1996. Since then NSD has proven that properly trained and certified autism service dogs can: •increase safety levels and alleviate the bolting behaviours common in children with autism by acting as an anchor when tethered to the child •improve a child’s socialization and behavior skills •expand a child’s capabilities to experience more of life and to grow •calm children thereby giving them an increased attention span and a greater aptitude for learning Each child/dog team represents an 8-10 year commitment from NSD and is valued at $30,000. With the support of donors like you we are able to provide autism service dogs at no charge to children in need. In March of 2011 NSD launched a program to provide Skilled Companion Dogs to veterans with post traumatic stress disorder. Please consider lending your support to this new program today!
