Rescue Me is an organization that supports over 25 Rescue Groups and Animal Rehabilitation Organizations in Ontario. It coordinates marketing, charitable activities and sponsorship designed to give both small and large organizations the ability to fund-raise on a larger scale. Many of our rescues are small and would otherwise not have the resources to maximize their charitable giving. All money donated goes directly toward helping with medical care and much needed resources to find these animals appropriate permanent loving homes or hospice homes. Thank you for your support!

Hancock Wildlife Foundation believes that through education and research we can better conserve our wildlife resources in the face of human interaction. Given time and encouragement the wildlife of our planet can co-exist with man as shown by the tremendous resurgence of the bald eagle in urban and suburban areas after being almost wiped out by poorly thought out laws and human greed. The Hancock Wildlife Foundation is seeking funding for projects which include research and conservation initiatives. As the foundation grows, we will hire more staff-many younger talented people committed to our cause must still make a living. As David Hancock says, "If we can support that, then that is marvelous. However, it is both my position and belief that we will also find, already have found, so many additional talented people with some time (and or dollars) to give that "community stewardship". You, the volunteers, the stewards' of your community, my community-earth, are our biggest asset."

ca-r-ma.org-Cat Rescue Maritimes is a registered charity engaged in humanely reducing the population of unwanted free roaming cats & kittens. We operate TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs where colonies of these animals exist & remove adoptable animals..mostly kittens..from the colonies, foster them in private homes, alter them & place them in approved adoptive homes. As resources allow, we assist colony care givers in providing food & shelter for the feral cats in their care. Our future goals include education initiatives to change attitudes on the importance of spay/neutering & working with other animal support groups to bring about legislation for the benefit of all animals. ca-r-ma.org has no paid employees; it is run by entirely by volunteers & funded by donations. There are currently chapters in Antigonish, Deer Island, Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton, Pictou, Riverside-Albert, St Stephen, and Saint John. We are eager to welcome and support new chapters anywhere in the Maritimes.

Pit Bulls for Life takes pride in knowing that all dogs adopted have absolutely NO human aggression and have little to no animal aggression. All dogs and potential adopters are carefully screened to ensure dogs are placed in their forever home.  The foundation is completely volunteer-based and relies heavily on foster homes and donations. As we do not have a shelter for our rescued pit bulls we are limited to the number of dogs we are able to take in at any one time. If you are interested in fostering, volunteering or donating please contact us.  

Once they are in our care the cats are seen by our vet, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, treated for internal & external parasites and microchipped. Some cats that have come into our care have needed dental surgery, bladder stone removal etc. We will do necessary bloodwork or tests if they are recommended by our vet. Once the cats get the OK, they are put up for adoption on our website or our in store adoption centers. We require a completed adoption application that must be approved prior to meeting with the cats. We charge a nominal adoption fee to help offset our vet costs. We are challenged with the every day costs of caring for the many cats in our care. The cost of food and litter alone is overwhelming. Add the price of veterinary care and we are always finding ourselves in debt. We rely solely on donations from the public, fundraising and our adoption fees, which covers only a portion of our costs. Most of the time the money is coming from our own pockets.

Oppsadazy Rescue and Sanctuary Society endeavours to ensure that all good-tempered, healthy animals are placed in loving, caring, stable and lifelong homes.

You can help and give them the life and the love they wish they always had! Donate now, and make a difference...

Sheba's Haven Rescue is a unique non-profit organization, dedicated to rescuing special-needs dogs and providing palliative care for those with life-limiting, incurable illnesses. Sheba's Haven Rescue embraces these dogs as part of our family, enabling them to enjoy their remaining time in the peace and beauty of a calm, well-balanced environment. Sheba's Haven Rescue allows our dogs free reign of our magnificent, fenced, 3-acre property. A small creek, banked by bullrushes, winds through the grounds, with 4 separate bridges to cross it. Some walk through the creek instead or even lie in it, while others seek out the shade beneath a huge weeping willow.
