The Animal Rescue Network is the largest no-kill shelter in Montreal, entirely run by volunteers and not subsidized by the government. The ARN was founded in 1994 by Barbara Lisbona, who remains its current president. Shelter: We run a shelter and network of foster homes where unwanted cats and dogs are cared for. No animals are destroyed unless compassion for a sick and suffering animal demands euthanasia. Adoptions: We hold weekly adoption clinics at pet supply stores throughout the Montreal area to find permanent homes for our cats and dogs. All new adoption homes are carefully screened. Sterilization: All rescued animals are sterilized and vaccinated. We also run a catch-sterilize-and-release program to reduce the population of feral (wild) cats, and we provide assistance to the public with low-cost sterilization of their pets. Counselling: We provide advice and counselling on animal medical and behavioural problems.

OVSARDA is fully staffed by volunteers. We each invest some 700-1000 hours each year in training for K9 search and rescue. Dog teams certify annually at the OPP K9 Academy in Gravenhurst, Ont. Select dog teams undergo extra training as human remains detection dogs, and are certified by the Intl Police Work Dog Assn. OVSARDA responds to searches primarily in the Ottawa area, but has traveled as far as James Bay, Thunder Bay and Newfoundland when called. OVSARDA receives absolutely no government funding to support its activities. All financial support comes from fundraising activities and private donation.

FRFA is a registered charity dedicated to bettering the lives of the street cats and kittens that have no place to call home. We provide rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing for stray, feral, lost, abandoned and abused felines. All rescued cats and kittens are vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated and ID tattooed prior to adoption. The ill, injured and abused receive the necessary veterinary care to restore their health and the compassionate care needed to restore their trust in people. We are a No-Kill foundation that believes in prevention as the most humane and cost effective means of reducing critical cat overpopulation and the subsequent misery. FRFA provides spay/neuter assistance to low income cat owners (please see our Pay What You Can Spay/Neuter Fund). The majority of problems that plague the cat population are due to critical overpopulation. In a 7 year span the exponential growth resulting from of 1 breeding pair of cats will be an additional 450,000 kittens born.

The Edmonton Valley Zoo Revitalization Project has already begun with Phase I: a new Arctic Shores Exhibit opened in 2012 and Phase II: a new Entry Plaza and Wander currently under construction this year. “Nature’s Wild Backyard” will be Phase III of the revitalization and the Valley Zoo Development Society has committed to raising $9 million dollars for this Phase of construction that is likely to cost over $30 million dollars. The newly revitalized zoo will be a world-class facility and a leader in education and conservation.“Nature’s Wild Backyard” will be a place where the zoo’s youngest guests will have the opportunity to get up close and personal to experience the delight of watching, interacting and bonding with animals.
