We provide a second career for racing and Non racing Standardbred horses. We have adopted out over 200 horses across the province of Ontario since 1996. These horses are enjoyed in a various number of disciplines such as - Police work, endurance, dressage, jumping, barrels, trail riding and general pleasure horses.

Our shelters are always too full of animals that were born without waiting homes, puppies who grew too big, kittens who were no longer wanted when they grew up, and lost and disregarded animals. Even worse, our SPCA Hospital shelters animals who have been injured, become ill through neglect, been abandoned, abused, or grew old — each one in need of medical care, and each one potentially a loving and loyal companion. For many of these animals, the SPCA Hospital is their last hope. Please help us to help them!

Bear mortality related to human conflicts is perhaps the largest single factor affecting long-term population viability. As human populations continue to extend into bear habitat throughout North America, either through residential development, recreational use or industrial use, bear human conflicts increase. Our organization aims to reduce human caused bear mortality and incidents of human-bear conflict. This is achieved through specialized training courses and innovative applied research. We are involved in a variety of initiatives that focus on reducing people’s interactions with bears while living, working and recreating in bear country. These include our unique Bearproof Garbage Bin Loaner Program, Bear Hazard Assessments, and Natural Attractant Management. Please see www.bearconflict.org for more information.

Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Foundation volunteers take needy dogs, puppies, cats and kittens into their own homes and provide loving care until a suitable home is found. Very few animals in this area are spayed and neutered, so the animal population grows exponentially. The statistic is if all a female dog's puppies survive and continue to breed, in five years sixty-five hundred puppies will be born. One cat gives rise to four hundred fifty thousand kittens in seven years. Previous to our spay campaign, the only thing that checked the animal population on these two reserves was deaths due to predation, harsh winters, starvation, diseases and parasitic infestations. Paws and Claws Animal Rescue volunteers are dedicated to changing this situation. Three years ago Paws and Claw began a spay program, free to residents on the Sunchild and O'Chiese Reserves. We have spayed approximately three hundred dogs and cats in this time. Please help us spay more dogs and cats!

Okanagan Collie Rescue is a registered non-profit society which operates primarily in British Columbia and Alberta. Because the historical roots of the society are in the Okanagan, we have retained the name. OCR is dedicated to providing shelter and care to purebred and mixed-breed collies who have been abandoned or place into shelters. Our goal is to match these ‘castaway’ collies with families who will provide a safe, loving and permanent home. We have successfully placed collies of all ages - from young adults to seniors requiring a safe haven for their golden years. OCR fosters its rescued collies in private homes throughout British Columbia and Alberta, and assists with transportation and placement of collies from other areas of Canada and the United States.
