The sanctuary was set up out of the need in Mississauga for a non-profit organization to fund the veterinary & rehabilitation expenses for injured wild animals and birds. The main goal of the organization funded by donations to the project is to provide refuge, veterinary care and rehabilitation to the wild life that have been displaced from their normal habitat. Due to the explosive expansion of residential, commercial and industrial development, the few remaining pockets of virgin growth and wetlands are becoming isolated from each other and consequently unable to sustain the wild life population.

GRA Canada is operated by Freddie and Bill Cowan from their rural kennel facilities near London in Southwestern Ontario. Here is their story: Our first closeup encounter with Greyhounds was a Home Show at Daytona Beach in March, 1992. We went to the track the next day and volunteered to foster a shy, brindle female called ‘Nuffy’ aka Getum Fasta Nuff. Like many first time foster folks we failed the course, and returned to the track the next day, and filled out the adoption papers. Nuffy became our ‘guiding light’. When we moved back to Ontario in the fall of 1992 we decided that we needed to find a companion to Nuffy.’

Critteraid was established in Summerland, B.C., Canada in 1991 to provide sanctuary for cats in need. Critteraid received it’s ‘Non-Profit’ status within the Province of British Columbia and ‘Registered Charity’ status within Canada in 1994. We are restricted to the number of cats we can provide sanctuary for because Critteraid is a ‘no kill’ sanctuary. This means that animals are not euthanized, unless the animal is suffering from an incurable problem and our veterinarian has recommended that euthanasia is the only way to end the suffering. Every cat that comes in is examined by a qualified veterinarian, vaccinated, neutered or spayed, tattooed, and microchipped.

Since early 1997 we have been rescuing animals. We have learned a lot since we first began, and we are still learning every day. Each rescue that comes into our place gets a new lease on life. They are given unconditional love from day one. Some of them never having experienced this. Many dogs we get in come from families that have not considered how much a pet changes your life. Each pet is a LIFE TIME COMMITMENT. We try and educate each person wanting to adopt. Not only is a dog a pretty face, but also a living, breathing being that does have a personality of its own. So, if you have come here today to adopt a specific breed, we ‘hope’ that you have done some research on the breed.

New Hope Dog Rescue (NHDR) will foster stray, abandoned, neglected, unwanted, and abused dogs and re-home them. NHDR members will strive to find the right home best suited to an individual dog. We will not place dogs simply as a means to move them out. NH defines a ﾓgoodﾔ home as one that is a match for the dogﾒs temperament, energy level and training requirements. A good home must meet both the physical and psychological needs of the dog.
