Help The Animals
You can provide a safe haven for animals with nowhere else to turn. Your donation today will rescue, reunite and rehome a vulnerable animal. Thank you for making second chances possible.
We care about Ottawa's animals
Each year, we care for thousands of sick, injured and homeless animals, providing leadership in animal welfare to help build a compassionate community and a brighter future for our community.
Land Acknowledgement
