Help Pets like Maggie Start Their Next Chapter

| November 10, 2025

With the rising cost of living, many pet families are facing the challenge of providing the care their animals need. As a result, more pets are coming through our doors— and they rely on compassionate supporters like you to get the help they need. 

Across Canada, a pet is surrendered to a shelter every 17 minutes — each one with a story of love, loss, and hope for a new beginning.  

This Giving Tuesday, your gift can make that next chapter possible — and thanks to Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets, every donation will be matched up to $10,000. That means your generosity goes twice as far to help animals in need. 

Maggie, a 7-year-old dog arrived as a stray, thin, matted, and covered in burrs. Despite her rough condition, she greeted our team with a gentle, affectionate spirit.  

With comprehensive medical care, Maggie transformed beautifully. Her energy returned, her personality shone, and soon afterwards she was adopted. 

Maggie, when she first arrived, and Maggie before she moved in with her new family.

Your gift today can help more pets like Maggie receive the care they need to heal, grow, and start their next chapter.
