We are a dedicated group of volunteers operating a successful trap, neuter and return program for feral and stray cats since 1999. We rely entirely on private donations to fund our program, which spayed and neutered almost 500 cats in 2011 alone, and socialized and adopted out well over 100 kittens in the same period. We are now raising funds to create an on going low cost spay program for pet cats belonging to people living on public assistance in order to further reduce the number of unwanted kittens born in our community. Further information about our program can be found on our website at www.cowichancatrescue.org

The Bow Valley SPCA has completed the construction of our innovative No-Kill, No-Cage Adoption Centre – the first of its kind in Canada. The Carla Cumming Sojonky Adoption Centre's design is based on the organization's no-kill, no-cage philosophy. This philosophy requires the environment to be more sensitive to the needs of dogs and cats. Design elements include dog cabins and cat chalets which comfortably accommodate three to five animals, allowing for animal compatibility and in-room visits with people. This creates a more people- and animal-friendly environment. The Bow Valley SCPA’s no-kill, no-cage philosophy extends beyond the Centre design. Now that we are open – we are busy generating greater awareness in humane animal treatment and reducing the number of abandoned animals in the Bow Valley through our adoption services, humane education and spay/neuter programs. Animals cannot help themselves. You can make a difference. Donate to the fund of your choice today.

27 years ago, Kathy Asling found an 8-week-old puppy on the street. She immediately called every possible link to the pup's owners and ran an advertisement in her local newspaper. A reporter who saw the ad called Kathy to write a cover story. Although no owner was ever located, she received almost 200 calls to adopt the puppy. She instinctively screened prospective adopters and conducted home visits. Kathy decided on a home but had names and numbers of several families she felt would provide a loving home to a dog. The next day she visited the local shelter and started 'match making' by contacting the people who had called her looking to adopt. Identifying the need for someone to step up and save the lives of good dogs from being put to death We are 100% volunteer we have no paid staff. Your donations and fundraising are the only sources of income to help us continue to save the live of animals. www.animalguardian.org

Wildlife Rehabilitation CCWR is working towards a Wildlife Custodian Authorization, to be issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources. We are applying for the funding needed to build our intake clinic and animal enclosures in the hope of taking in injured and orphaned fawns and raccoons starting in spring 2010. Public Education Some harm to wildlife can be prevented through public education. CCWR will develop an extensive campaign to inform the public on the role people can play in minimizing the impact humans have on wildlife. Advocacy CCWR believes that we need to respect nature and that all life should have value and meaning. When human industry interferes with the balance of nature, we need to take a responsible approach. CCWR will work with city officials and developers, speaking on behalf of wildlife when its well-being is threatened by land development. Sanctuary Our sanctuary animals continue to receive excellent care for the rest of their lives.

NASAP is a registered Canadian charity and a non-profit society within Alberta. We are totally run by volunteers and depend on donations to keep doing our work of saving adoptable pets. Our volunteers are dedicated to reducing the use of euthanasia as a means to control the over population of adoptable pets. We actively practice and promote the use of spay and neuter. The only time NASAP has an animal euthanized is when it is advised by a Veterinarian due to serious injury, grave illnesses or behavior issues that pose a threat to human safety. We do not have a central location, but rather our foster homes take our animals into their homes and families, making the animal a part of the family. This way we get to know the animal and their personalities making it easier to find the right permanent home for them.

Animalert works independently of the London Humane Society and London Animal Care and Control Centre. We raise all of our money through adoption fees, private donations and fund-raising efforts, such as our annual Christmas bazaar. Because we have virtually no administrative overhead, approximately 90 per cent of our money is used for veterinary care, food and housing. We are able to place about 250 cats and dogs a year into responsible, loving homes. We work cooperatively with other shelters both locally and in the United States to save pets and find permanent homes for them.
