It is an organization that is run solely by volunteers who love animals and want the hurt, broken, and helpless animals get another chance. After medical attention and rehabilitation, they adopt out approximately 300 animals per year, and give them a chance at security, happiness, and most of all love; so it is an organization to be proud of! People from many different communities know about the CCAR because of Beverly Archer (the proprietor of the organization), and know that she uses money out of her own pocket most of the time to help these amazing animals in need. You can help and give them the life and the love they wish they always had! Donate now, and make a difference...

Sheba's Haven Rescue is a unique non-profit organization, dedicated to rescuing special-needs dogs and providing palliative care for those with life-limiting, incurable illnesses. Sheba's Haven Rescue embraces these dogs as part of our family, enabling them to enjoy their remaining time in the peace and beauty of a calm, well-balanced environment. Sheba's Haven Rescue allows our dogs free reign of our magnificent, fenced, 3-acre property. A small creek, banked by bullrushes, winds through the grounds, with 4 separate bridges to cross it. Some walk through the creek instead or even lie in it, while others seek out the shade beneath a huge weeping willow.

Western Purple Martin Foundation is currently working on the conservation of western Purple Martins in British Columbia where they are a Species At Risk and are only found around the Strait of Georgia. Much of the western Purple Martin natural nesting habitat was destroyed through land clearing activities and this bird species almost became locally extinct. Only 5 known breeding pairs remained in 1985. Through a successful nest box stewardship and recovery program a large number of caring volunteers have helped increase the BC Purple Martin population to our short-term goal of 800 pairs in 2012. The BC population continues to grow and reached ~950 pairs in 2013. Our long-term goal is to re-introduce BC Purple Martins back into remaining natural nesting habitat in open forest and near freshwater. Together we can build on almost 30 years of success, preserve species diversity and return martins to their natural nesting habitat.

Founded in late 2008, WildAid Canada has been active building partnerships with business, educators and government. WildAid has been working to formally integrate trade issues into wildlife programs of government. PSAs have carried our message to hundreds of thousands of Canadians through the media and broadcasters. We have also introduced landmark wildlife legislation. For 2011, the organization will implement a program in partnership with Canada’s largest school board reaching over 100,000 Ontario students. We will work to enact comprehensive trade bans on shark fining at both the provincial and federal level. We will continue to solicit and grow our network of partners for PSA distribution.

Connecting Canadians to Nature – a simple phrase, but one which captures the essence of the role of Canada’s accredited zoos and aquariums in the early 21st century. Serving as a portal to the natural world of marvelous animals and their threatened habitat for an increasingly urbanized population is a vital role that is overwhelmingly endorsed by the members of the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums. It also marks a remarkable transformation in the mission of these unique institutions. As is the case with the leading international zoo and aquarium associations, CAZA and its members have moved on from the role of “animal keepers” to a progressive stance in the movement to preserve the world’s biodiversity.

We focus on three main aspects: Rescue: helping strays who are injured, neglected, sick, etc and have no one to care for them. We also help those who are too sick, injured or young to survive in a normal shelter setting; Treatment: providing food, medication, surgery, etc to all rescued animals as required. This includes helping them find foster and permanent homes and ensuring they have the life they deserve which is safe, secure and free of fear; and Education: we endeavour to set an inspiring example. We believe animals deserve our care and respect. Through our responsible guardianship, by ensuring they are spayed or neutered, by providing briefings, handouts, newspaper articles, etc, we encourage people to treat all animals with compassion and respect. Our main target group is the younger generation so that they will do better by animals, as hopefully we have improved upon their treatment through the advancements since our parents' and grandparents' generations.
