The Surrey Animal Resource Centre is the animal control facility for the City of Surrey which is the 2nd largest city in BC and the 12th largest city in Canada with a population of over 500,000. The centre helps animals and humans in our community through licensing, reuniting animals with their owner, and adopting out those who do not have an owner. We want to see all of our homeless animals adopted to folks who've thought long and hard about what kind of animal is right for their situation, and who've committed to providing: Good nutrition, Regular veterinary care, and Mental and physical stimulation appropriate to the individual animal.

The success of our organization is rooted in our dedicated group of volunteers both local and abroad. We have partnered with like-minded individuals in countries including but not limited to the Middle East, Bahrain, India, Turkey, Mexico and Vietnam to help change the lives of some of the world’s most in-need animals. As we do not have a physical location, we depend on the support of the local community in the form of foster homes and potential adopters. According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 200 million stray dogs worldwide (as of 2017). The lives of these street dogs is particularly short and difficult in countries with limited resources dedicated to animal welfare. This is where we come in. Our partners abroad work tirelessly to take in stray dogs who are most in need of medical care. They (and you) are their best chance for survival. Generally, the process begins with the dogs being rescued off of the streets, restored to health and rehabilitated by these compassionate individuals. Loved at Last Dog Rescue is a society of dog loving volunteers who are committed to assisting in the rehoming of local dogs and rescuing dogs (often disabled) from high kill countries around the world. LALDR does not profit from any adoption fees. All donations to Loved at Last Dog Rescue are used to cover the cost of veterinary care, special equipment such as prosthetics and wheelchairs and to assist in the transportation of the dogs. The specific objectives and purpose of this organization shall be: a) To assist owners who are no longer able to care for their dog in re-homing the dog. b) To educate people about the importance of adopting, not buying, a dog. To educate people about street dogs and abused dogs and to provide a network of support to dog owners. c) To save dogs in need and at risk whenever possible, especially in situations where there is a potential for unnecessary euthanasia. d) To educate people about spaying and neutering, as well as the identification and registration, of domestic pets. We have a passion for preserving life and for protecting those who can't speak for themselves. To champion for those who are victimized by cruelty.

Fulfilling dreams for families in BC, Canada, we are a registered non profit animal rescue making a difference in the lives of dogs and their new owners. We are passionate about matching dogs to their owners for the best possible success of both. Our team of volunteers come from varied backgrounds and walks of life, but all unite with a love for animals.

We primarily fly homeless and neglected dogs from Taiwan to Vancouver, however we also adopt out local surrendered dogs. We educate people on the proper care and training of dogs, the importance of spay/neuter, and the responsibilities involved in caring for a pet. We do it because we love dogs to ensure they live a happy life.

I am Angie Koczkur founder of the Society and I started this 7 years ago when I moved to Merritt and would see all these homeless sick cats in the downtown core. Upon going to the City and asking for help to no evail I found out that they hand out traps and let citizens do whatever they wanted with the animal and further investigating showed the local vets do not give people a break on sterilizing but 65% of Merritt is either low income, disabled or fixed income so they are just adding to the problem. I want to make it stop and over the years have put myself 40,000.00 in debt. The shelter originally started in my home but then the City said I was breaking the by law of 2 animals per household so I had to open a shelter to the tune of 2500.00 plus a month. I currently have 500+ cats and 20 dogs under my umbella and need desperate help, a piece of property for a Sanctuary would be nice. I do it cause they can not speak nor help themselves so I am their voice and their help for sterilizing/vaccinating and finding their forever home.

The Dhana Metta Rescue Society is a group of animal loving volunteers who provide transition homes for pets in need until they are adopted. We do this soley for the animals - it is what we love. We also will be holding educational seminars in the future in regards to pet overpopulation and why you should spay & neuter, proper pet care and training. And the negative effects of puppy and cat mills + BYB's
