Tierra de Animales sanctuary was founded in March 2011 as a refuge for Cancun’s forgotten and abandoned street dogs, or ‘perros callejeros’. Animals rescued from the streets now have a safe place to call home, and a place to heal from the unfortunate circumstances that left them alone and abandoned. Dogs who once had virtually no chance of survival , those that have been injured and abused, and those who are simply abandoned or born on the streets….now all have a second chance at a better life. Animals rescued by Tierra de Animales receive immediate medical attention, love and care, and friendship with other dogs who all have similar histories. All of our dogs are sterilized, as we believe it is vital to breaking the cycle of animal homelessness and suffering. Our mission at TdA is to rescue, rehabilitate, sterilize, socialize and adopt our dogs to forever homes.….please join our cause and help us in this important mission. At Tierra de Animales, we offer plenty of wide open area for the dogs to run and play, outdoor runs for dogs that need to remain kenneled, and separate interior special needs kennels and a bathing area. Many of the dogs that we rescue are injured and sick, and require much care. Currently we are constructing a large quarantine and admittance area to accommodate all of the dogs that arrive injured and sick…we need your help to complete construction…we are overflowing with dogs that need medical attention and quarantine. The next phase of construction will be more outdoor ‘living’ areas and an onsite sterilization/health clinic. The founding of TdA has been a enormous labor of love to transform undeveloped jungle land into what we are today, and we are still growing… Tierra de Animales relies solely on personal donations to operate, and we need and ask for your support. Help us give dignity and respect to the lives of these dogs…they only ask for love and a chance to be happy.

Katie’s Place is a volunteer-run animal shelter in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. We rescue and nurture animals, and we are a no-kill shelter. Two principals guide us: all life is valuable, and we are responsible for improving the quality of life for all those in our care. We make no judgment on whose life is worth rescuing. The sick, elderly and homely are as precious to us as the healthy, young and attractive.  We advocate for the provision of responsible, respectful and compassionate care to animals within our community.  We participate in public education as a preventive measure to ensure the quality of life for companion and other domestic animals.  We work closely with other rescue organizations and resources to meet the needs of homeless animals in our community.  We ensure the sterilization of all animals prior to adoption to address the issue of companion animal overpopulation and homelessness. Katie’s Place started helping animals in January of 2001. We became a registered charity in 2005 (Charitable Registration No: 86250 6037 RR0001). We take in mostly cats but we also take other small animals that have nowhere else to go. We ensure that all cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, tattooed or microchipped, and have their basic inoculations prior to adoption. Our funding comes entirely from donations, fundraising and applying for grants. The funds go directly to animal care. Less than three percent is spent on maintenance (eg. phone, bank charges, insurance). No remuneration of any kind goes to anybody who works for Katie’s Place.

The Care for Dogs Objectives are: ++Reducing the overpopulation of street and temple dogs through sterilization /spaying programs and local adoptions. ++Operating a rescue centre for puppies and dogs (which is used for adoptions, after-care from surgery/sterilisation, or for transitional rescue for dogs that are in immediate danger). ++Improving the health status of homeless dogs through vaccinations and coordinating medical care in cooperation with our veterinary team. ++Fighting the dog meat trade through advocacy and education. Care for Doga helps people help their dogs through: ++Cooperation with monks and employees of temples to improve the quality of life for temple dogs. ++Information to dog owners about sterilisations, medical care, taking them along with us to the vet, showing people how to show affection through gentle play and petting. ++Reducing death rate by helping people understand that there are solutions other than killing dogs. ++School education activities to make the younger generation more aware of animal welfare. Although we concentrate mainly on dogs, we are able to facilitate treatment and sterilisations for cats as well as liaising with nuns at temples who foster kittens and adult cats if people are interested in adoption.

The mission of Humane Society Yukon (HSY) has four core elements: To foster a caring, compassionate atmosphere towards animals; To prevent and suppress cruelty to animals; To promote a humane ethic and responsible pet ownership; and To operate one or more animal shelters. HSY was founded in 1987 as a direct result of a local Yukon outfitter allowing his horses to starve to death. The organization originally consisted of nothing more than a fenced-in dog area on Andrea and Florian Lemphers’s rural acreage and a second telephone line in their home. In 1989, Humane Society Yukon was officially registered as a non-profit society in the Yukon. Today, the Society’s Board of Directors focuses on animal welfare education initiatives throughout the territory, as well as the operation of the Mae Bachur Animal Shelter in Whitehorse.

This sanctuary was created and exists to aid, rehabilitate and rehome abused and abandoned animals that would otherwise be euthanized. Rude Ranch Animal Rescue, Inc. is a Maryland Registered, 501(c)3 not for profit charity. Originally started in 1997, the property that currently houses the sanctuary was purchased in 1999.

The main floor houses the administrative, storage and conference areas, while the lower floor is open to the public. There are three rooms for special needs cats on the upper floor. Adoptions Although the animals we rescue will have the best of care at the shelter, it is always our goal to find a special home for each pet. Therefore, if we deny an adoption application for a particular animal, please understand it is because we want the absolute best match of personality, temperament, and home environment for both the adoptive family and the pet.

For over four decades the Regina Humane Society has made a difference, one-by-one, for animals in our community. Hungry animals rescued from the cold have full tummies and a warm place to sleep. Others who have been neglected or abused have found a place to be safe, to trust and to be loved. Fluffy blankets, toys and treats for pets whose owners can no longer care for them make a kennel seem like a home. The Society was incorporated in 1964 as a non-profit organization. The current Shelter is located on Armour Road, off Highway #6 on the northern edge of Regina, Saskatchewan. It has space for over 300 animals, a voluntary Board of Directors, 46 staff and over 800 active volunteers. The Society has, throughout the years, worked to improve the welfare of animals through programs and services in sheltering, education, protection and advocacy. Without those who support our mission to improve the well-being of animals in our community, we could not continue the valuable services we provide.

Our mission is to find a home for all the dogs that are in our care.

Territorio de Zaguates is a non-profit organization founded by Lya Battle and Alvaro Saumet, who are dedicated to promoting animal welfare and respect for animals. Goals: 1. Rescue and improve the quality of life of stray dogs. 2. Promote the adoption of animals rescued by the organization. 3.

C.A.R.E.S. was formed in 1993 when a group of animal lovers wanted a shelter for animals that were homeless. We provide shelter for stray, abandoned and unwanted cats in a safe, loving, cage free environment. There is a no kill policy at C.A.R.E.S., therefore any animals that are not adopted will be able to live the rest of their natural lives at the shelter. A SAFE AND CARING HOME – THE BASIS OF A GOOD LIFE: In February of 1998, C.A.R.E.S. began an alliance with PetSmart in Langley, British Columbia. Cats that are rescued receive quality food, shelter and veterinary care, and many of those cats are then taken to the PetSmart adoption centre in the Langley store. From February 1998 to December 2011, we have adopted out over 5400 cats from that location. As a small, non-profit organization we rely on our community of volunteers to help us keep the shelter clean and the cats well loved. Our volunteers assist with adoptions at PetSmart as well as cleaning, caring for the cats, fostering cats and kittens and generally providing love and protection for abused, injured, hungry, lost and abandoned animals. C.A.R.E.S. is funded entirely through memberships, adoption fees, fundraising events and the generous tax-deductible donations of caring individuals and corporations. C.A.R.E.S. is a non-profit Society and a registered Charity. All donations over $10 receive a tax receipt.
