My Story…
Hank is living a happy ideal life on the west coast in BC thanks to Northern Hope Dog Rescue! Please help dogs like our handsome Hank that are suffering in Northern remote communities. Now with forest fires ravaging these communities, organizations such as Northern Hope urgently need your help.
Isolated communities in Canada face many challenges in regards to accessing adequate services. Not only does this affect those living in the community, but also extends to the dog population. Most communities have no access to regular veterinary care to provide the most basic necessities - vaccinations against preventable diseases, such as parvo and distemper, spay/neutering to control the population and emergency vet care for acute injuries. Overpopulation of free roaming dogs also puts community members at great risk, from transmittable diseases, dog attacks and trauma related to the practice of dog culling, where dogs are shot and killed as a means of population control.
The problem of dog over population in remote Canadian communities is extensive. Locally-based rescues are often at capacity, unable to take in all the dogs that need to be saved. Without out of province rescues assisting, many more dogs would die.
We have the capacity to help give these dogs a second chance at life and a loving family that will give them the life they deserve. There are so many loving families here on the west coast who are eager to love a rescue dog, and dogs dying and suffering daily in our country. We are committed to bringing the two together and making a meaningful contribution to the communities we work with.
