With several hundred receiving charities here (reaching toward illness, relief, education, research, religion, global aide, and beyond) we know this: Animal lovers of Canada, you are one generous bunch! You Facebook, you rally, you reach out in crisis. We are always amazed at how much love is shared in this community through donations to animal rescue across the country. Sometimes that care for our furry – and not so furry – animal friends means you reach into your pockets and gift your favorite charity.

Animal rescue everyday heroes

2014 saw some significant crisis for our receiving animal rescue charities: they reached toward profound need in providing services in small ways, as well as through large-scale efforts. Some found themselves struck by personal tragedy  through fire or flood. But each SPCA, each animal rescue team, and countless individuals diligently gave voice and care to our pets and our wildlife.

We don’t have a moment’s doubt: your SPCA, shelter and area conservation group — working hard to care for both our domestic and wild animals beloved by Canadians – will continue to be on the receiving end of donor generosity in 2015. We can’t wait to be part of that for each deserving charity!

And if your pressing concern leans more to us two-legged creatures (here at home, or around the globe), we have a charity for you, too! Check out your options here.

Charity care in your own back yard

Voltaire challenges us to tend our own garden. For some of us, helping the world means helping at home. If that is you, your local animal shelter continues to serve. In fact, it is business as usual for most Canadian relief works. The needs here in Canada are felt and, in some cases, critical. Your vehicle donation can help local charities. Right now. Bringing immediate aid in your own neighbourhood, town, or province.

Regardless of where you designate your gift, you can expect excellent and amiable donor support service from us here. Your charity will never pay a penny for our services. Your gift will go to the charity you’ve chosen. What a beautiful way to offer steadying compassion in strange times!

You are also invited to contact and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter! From there, you’ll be able to keep up to date on our program as well as see posts that showcase our amazing donors and charities across the country!
