Endless Pawsabilities Animal Rescue Society
Endless Pawsabilities works closely with Winnipeg rescue K9 advocates that rescue unwanted, neglected, and abused animals, often found in ditches, dumps, and fields. One thing that sets them apart from other rescues is that they try to match animals with adopters behind the scenes. They have adopters come out sometimes and meet the animals upon arrival and do what they call a foster to adopt. During this time, their adoption rate is quite high, as families get a longer trial with their animals before adopting. In addition to monetary donations used for medical cases, they are always in need of dog and cat supplies. Puppy pads, leashes, litter, food and crates. Visit endless-pawsabilities.org
SAINTS – Senior Animals in Need Today Society
SAINTS is a multi species sanctuary in Mission BC. Our animals are all either senior or special needs who had nowhere else to go. We take in animals who are unadoptable through traditional shelters. SAINTS is a non-profit registered charity funded entirely by donations. Visit saintsrescue.ca to learn more.
