Hope for Wildlife Tells Their Story
"Hope took in her first rehab animal, a robin that had been attacked by a cat, in 1995 while working as a Manager at the Dartmouth Veterinary Hospital. The veterinarians at the hospital did not know what to do with the injured bird, so Hope took it to her home in Eastern Passage and starting doing research on caring for injured wildlife. As her knowledge grew, the veterinary staff would refer calls about orphaned and injured wildlife to Hope. She continued to do research and learn more about the subject. Later that year, Hope took a Wildlife Rehabilitator’s course and obtained a certificate in Basic Wildlife Rehabilitation from the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Association. Hope and her good friend, Lisa Butcher, developed a plan to create a wildlife rehabilitation centre to offer proper care to injured and orphaned wildlife in Nova Scotia."

Parenting: Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World
Kids. They grip our hearts in a way no one or nothing else can. When we watch the news and see or hear anything that affects a child, there’s a part in all of us that squirms and churns. We want our future adults to be safe, to be raised well and to be productive and hopeful citizens. Some days it’s a little more challenging than others to impart life skills they can use for their lifetime! Continue reading "Parenting: Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World" →
Pets: Remembering Bear and Ralphie
Animals are people too, don't ya know?!
Yes I'm being a bit cheeky, but for many of us our animals are our family. One thing that is very apparent for us at Donate A Car Canada, is that people love their pets, and it's always sad when we discover a pet has been mistreated, lost, or left for dead. They are at our mercy, and when we've chosen to care for them it is unthinkable that we'd shirk responsibility to the point of neglect or abuse.
