Boston Terrier Rescue Canada (BTRC) is a registered Canadian charity staffed solely by unpaid volunteers who are dedicated to helping homeless Boston Terriers find new "forever" homes, and promoting responsible pet ownership.

We provide the full range of treatment services needed to rehabilitate small birds and mammals. We assist the public with issues relating to wildlife; and promote knowledge and appreciation of wild animals and the habitats they depend on for survival. LSWR took in 20 animals in 2005, which increased to 220 in 2011. Each animal requires specialized foods, housing and environmental enrichment to ensure success upon their return to the wild. All activities are funded by donations and grants. There is no government funding for these programs. LSWR works in collaboration with the provincial wildlife rehabilitation society, local veterinarians, the Saskatoon Nature Society, the Zoo Society, and others to arrange for animal rescue, pick-up, medical needs, on-going care, and the eventual release of the animal to an appropriate habitat. All services are provided by volunteers, with over 25 contributing their time and energy to support Saskatchewan’s wildlife in 2011.

Rat Terrier Rescue Canada, Inc. is a canine rescue specific to the Rat Terrier breed, but occasionally taking in other dogs in need of safety and a good home. We have approximately 15 foster homes around Ontario and 2 in New Brunswick. Our major activity is to rescue dogs from high kill shelters, or from at-risk situations as well as take in owner surrenders. We take care of any veterinary needs, foster the dogs in individual homes and facilitate their adoption through PetFinder and other pet adoption portals. Approximately 95% of our revenue is from adoption donations,the rest is achieved through donation appeals or fundraising (bake sales, auctions,sales of dog related items).

Our ultimate goal and promise to our rescued animal companions is that we make every effort to ensure that..'they will NEVER have to be rescued again!'

Autism Dog Services trains and places service dogs for children with autism and related developmental disorders.

Our rescue organization is run entirely by volunteers and there are no paid employees. Board members and volunteers provide extensive foster care for rescued cats awaiting permanent homes. We have several continuous fundraising activities but depend heavily on donations to support the cats in care and can only rescue more cats when funds allow. Because we take special cases, our vet bills can be high and we are always in need of donations. We are grateful for any and all help which makes a huge difference to the number of kitty lives we can save. The donations go directly to food, supplies, and medical care for our cats. we also support long term "permanent" senior foster homes and take the cats back when the people can no longer care for them or go into a nursing home.

WWS is dedicated to preserving and promoting a harmonious coexistance between humans, wildlife and nature. WWS maintains a year-round wildlife rehabilitation facility where all injured and orphaned animals are accepted, rehabilitated and appropriately released back into their natural habitats. Wildlife that is deemed non releaseable may find sanctuary at WWS, and be considered for the WWS Educational Program, that is conducted for local schools, organizations and interest groups. Wildlife rehabilitation is a full-time labour of love that is not funded by the government or any of its agencies. Our on-going endeavours to promote awareness and responsibility for our native wildlife and to rehabilitate the orphaned and injured, are supported solely by public, private and corporate donations. Help us make a difference now and for generations to come.

Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary is currently home to 24 monkeys from a variety of different backgrounds. The farm is located approximately one hour north east of Toronto in the Sunderland area. Our residents include marmosets, ring-tailed and brown lemurs, capuchins, spider monkeys, baboons and Japanese macaques. We strive to provide a high quality of enrichment - social, food and structural. Unfortunately, owning primates as pets is legal in most areas of Canada, resulting in isolation, abandonment, abuse, malnutrition and neglect. We provide safe retirement to monkeys from these sad conditions and better their lives so they can live in peace and contentment. Please visit our website, facebook page and blog to learn more.
