We are a dedicated and compassionate team of veterinarians, animal health technicians and other volunteers that provides veterinary care for companion animals living on Alberta’s First Nations. The Task Force also offers educational programs for these communities. Our volunteer based group provides licenced, on-site clinics that can be held in community halls, school gyms, etc. We have the ability to set up a MASH type surgical unit to spay and neuter up to 370 animals over one weekend. We have also accepted up to 195 relinquished or stray dogs and cats at one clinic that are placed with rescue groups o be rehomed. All clinics are funded in whole or in part by the community. In 2013, the Task Force spayed or neutered a total of 1,766 animals. An additional 802 relinquished or stray dogs and cats were placed with our amazing partner rescue groups to be re-homed. We are guided by the communities we work with and believe that together we can create a better future for all.

All of the dogs who join New Hope Dog Rescue are partnered with loving and dedicated foster parents, who open their homes and hearts to these animals in need, and help provide the care they require until they can be matched with adoptive, permanent homes. Every dog receives proper medical care while with New Hope. This will range from the basics (vaccinations, deworming, microchip, spay/neuter), while others will require more extensive care (anything from dental cleaning/extractions, to corrective surgery, to treatment of skin conditions). We rely on donations and support from the community to allow us to cover these medical expenses and to carry out and continue our mission. We are always in need of adopters, foster homes, donors and volunteers. To learn more, visit our website at www.newhoperescue.org.

Helping Homeless Pets was created in November 2006 to help pets who need a new home and to help reduce the number of pets who may become homeless. We do this by directly supporting Pet Rescue Groups and by educating future and current pet owners.

Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue specialized in finding, rescuing, getting animals to veterinary care, then to foster homes and to our sanctuary for a temporary home until we find a good match for the animal and adopter. We are unique in the rescue area since we take in dogs that are in need of mild to serious rehabilitation, since most dogs that have behavioural problems have no place to go. We welcome them to our sanctuary and into our rehab program. Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue director is Behaviour Specialist, and takes the time to help dogs that have been abandoned rehabilitated so they can be adopted to a permanent loving home.

All Labrador Retrievers that come into our care are spayed/neutered, vaccines updated, microchipped and all other medical needs are taken care of, often including extensive surgery. They are then placed in foster homes where they are evaluated as to what type of home would be best suited for them. Home visits are conducted to ensure that our re-homed Labs will be placed in the best adoptive homes possible.
