The Dorset Equine Rescue's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home abused, neglected, and slaughter bound horses of all breeds and sizes. DER provides a safe, loving, and rehabilitative home, including all needed medical care, to every incoming animal. Once ready for their forever family, each horse is selectively placed in a pre-screened and qualified home. The Dorset Equine Rescue strives to educate the community about all matters of horse care, health, and advocacy to continuously improve the long-honored and time-tested human equine partnership.

The American Chestnut Foundation has one simple goal: to restore the American chestnut to its native forests. Destroyed by an imported blight many consider the worst environmental disaster of the twentieth century, the American chestnut was virtually eliminated from the eastern hardwood forest between 1904 and 1940. With its loss, wildlife populations plummeted; never to return to former levels. With recent developments in genetics, there is promise that this critically important wildlife food source and timber tree will again become part of our natural heritage. To make this possibility a reality, a group of prominent scientists, in 1983, established the non-profit research-oriented American Chestnut Foundation (TACF). The Foundation's mission is simple: to restore the American chestnut as an integral part of the eastern forest ecosystem. TACF is employing traditional plant breeding techniques, backed by advanced research methods, to develop a blight resistant American chestnut tree. TACF is restoring a species - and in the process, creating a template for restoration of other tree and plant species.

The Peterborough Humane Society, a registered charitable organization dependent on public donations, was established in 1941. As an Affiliated Society of the OSPCA, with the mandate to facilitate and provide for the prevention of cruelty to animals and their relief therefrom, our Humane Society offers a wide range of vital services to the community. Working in cooperation with many agencies and departments we continue promoting responsible pet ownership concepts through community outreach, one-on-one encounters with residents and the use of legal action as the last resort. Approximately 1,500 animals are received at the shelter each year, many of which are lost, injured or abandoned. While in our care they are provided with food, care, shelter and lots of love and attention. We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. The Peterborough Humane Society is grateful to our supporters, staff, and volunteers for their wonderful support and dedication.

The Burlington Humane Society is a no-kill animal shelter for cat and dogs operating in Burlington, Ontario. Funding for support services for abandoned animals comes from the generosity of donors, adoption fees and from the proceeds of a second hand store we operate. With a staff and board of volunteers, we are looking to expand our operations with a new building to address the growing demands of the Burlington community.

The Society operates the Seymour River Fish Hatchery and Education Centre which is located on the Seymour River just below the Seymour Falls Dam in North Vancouver, BC. In 1961, the construction of the Seymour Falls Dam removed access to 60% of the river from migrating salmon but more importantly has also resulted in the loss of 90% of the original spawning habitat. To mitigate this effect, the Society has been instrumental in the creation of new spawning, wintering and rearing habitat along much of the lower river. The Society supplements Seymour stocks of fish through rearing and releasing Steelhead Trout, Coho, Chum, Chinook and Pink salmon. Since 2005, we have been especially involved in research projects involving radio tracking adult Steelhead and looking at early marine survival of Steelhead smolts that are migrating to the ocean.

The mission of the Nonhuman Rights Project is, through education and litigation, to change the common law status of at least some nonhuman animals from mere “things,” which lack the capacity to possess any legal right, to “persons,” who possess such fundamental rights as bodily integrity and bodily liberty, and those other legal rights to which evolving standards of morality, scientific discovery, and human experience entitle them.

The mission of Heart of the Valley is to compassionately shelter the lost and surrendered pets of the Gallatin and Madison Valleys, and to enhance the lives of people and companion animals through pet adoption and education.

Bullies 2 the Rescue (B2TR for short) and our volunteers have been helping pure-bred bullies and their families for almost 10 years now. We are a licensed North Carolina shelter and a 501c3 charitable organization. The care we provide our English Bullie rescues exceeds any you will find from a breed rescue. This love includes a high quality diet, the best veterinary care around from a bulldog specialist, and behavioral evaluations of the highest quality. We offer nutrition and lifelong wellness support to every adopter.We serve the state of North Carolina, the state of South Carolina and the state of Alabama. Made up of 150 volunteers, B2TR has rehomed almost 350 bullies and counseled hundreds of families to provide support, encouragement and training consults to help keep bullies in their homes.The national economic downturn in the past few years has presented some unexpected challenges for B2TR with an unprecedented rise in bulldog surrenders both by owner families and various animal care and control organizations that turn to B2TR for assistance in appropriate placements. Our dedicated group of volunteers has enabled us to not only respond to this increased need for our services but also to strategically expand both our service area and our exceptional Rescue Program which focuses on allergy issues, skin problems and large scale surrender situations.

Pilots To The Rescue is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) that arranges air and ground transport to move animals (and in some cases people at risk) from overcrowded or perilous situations to shelters or areas with available adoption space. Their work supports volunteer pilots and partner shelters to reduce euthanasia and increase animals’ chances of finding homes.

Information in the BGF Database is publicly available online, free of charge to everyone.The BGF, with support from the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America, has established a repository of DNA and tumor tissue from BMDs. BGF supports research studies aimed at reducing the health problems found in Bernese Mountain Dogs
