Connecting Canadians to Nature – a simple phrase, but one which captures the essence of the role of Canada’s accredited zoos and aquariums in the early 21st century. Serving as a portal to the natural world of marvelous animals and their threatened habitat for an increasingly urbanized population is a vital role that is overwhelmingly endorsed by the members of the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums. It also marks a remarkable transformation in the mission of these unique institutions. As is the case with the leading international zoo and aquarium associations, CAZA and its members have moved on from the role of “animal keepers” to a progressive stance in the movement to preserve the world’s biodiversity.

We focus on three main aspects: Rescue: helping strays who are injured, neglected, sick, etc and have no one to care for them. We also help those who are too sick, injured or young to survive in a normal shelter setting; Treatment: providing food, medication, surgery, etc to all rescued animals as required. This includes helping them find foster and permanent homes and ensuring they have the life they deserve which is safe, secure and free of fear; and Education: we endeavour to set an inspiring example. We believe animals deserve our care and respect. Through our responsible guardianship, by ensuring they are spayed or neutered, by providing briefings, handouts, newspaper articles, etc, we encourage people to treat all animals with compassion and respect. Our main target group is the younger generation so that they will do better by animals, as hopefully we have improved upon their treatment through the advancements since our parents' and grandparents' generations.

We are a dedicated and compassionate team of veterinarians, animal health technicians and other volunteers that provides veterinary care for companion animals living on Alberta’s First Nations. The Task Force also offers educational programs for these communities. Our volunteer based group provides licenced, on-site clinics that can be held in community halls, school gyms, etc. We have the ability to set up a MASH type surgical unit to spay and neuter up to 370 animals over one weekend. We have also accepted up to 195 relinquished or stray dogs and cats at one clinic that are placed with rescue groups o be rehomed. All clinics are funded in whole or in part by the community. In 2013, the Task Force spayed or neutered a total of 1,766 animals. An additional 802 relinquished or stray dogs and cats were placed with our amazing partner rescue groups to be re-homed. We are guided by the communities we work with and believe that together we can create a better future for all.

All of the dogs who join New Hope Dog Rescue are partnered with loving and dedicated foster parents, who open their homes and hearts to these animals in need, and help provide the care they require until they can be matched with adoptive, permanent homes. Every dog receives proper medical care while with New Hope. This will range from the basics (vaccinations, deworming, microchip, spay/neuter), while others will require more extensive care (anything from dental cleaning/extractions, to corrective surgery, to treatment of skin conditions). We rely on donations and support from the community to allow us to cover these medical expenses and to carry out and continue our mission. We are always in need of adopters, foster homes, donors and volunteers. To learn more, visit our website at www.newhoperescue.org.

Helping Homeless Pets was created in November 2006 to help pets who need a new home and to help reduce the number of pets who may become homeless. We do this by directly supporting Pet Rescue Groups and by educating future and current pet owners. We believe that by working together we can do so much more and that every pet deserves a loving home.
