Donate below to our Intake Freeze fund through Canada Helps.
This is not a decision we make lightly. An intake freeze means our doors temporarily close to new dogs needing help. It means our team is left with the gut-wrenching task of saying no to calls about dogs who are injured, sick, vulnerable, or in urgent need of intervention.
Right now, we need to ensure we provide for the dogs already relying on us. The dogs in our foster homes, dogs undergoing treatment, upcoming surgeries, diagnostics, follow-up appointments, medications, and everything in between.
We cannot continue stretching beyond what our current foster capacity and financial resources can responsibly support.
When we first shared that an intake freeze was looming, our immediate goal was to raise $17,200 to help stabilize urgent veterinary costs. Since then, that number has already increased.
Our fundraising goal is now $20,000, though the reality is our veterinary costs continue to climb well beyond that. By the end of this month alone, we anticipate approximately $40,000 in veterinary bills.
Thanks to this incredible community, $7,800 has already been raised, and we are so deeply grateful. We still have a significant gap to close.
If we are going to reopen our doors to dogs in need as quickly as possible, our greatest needs right now are:
✅ Foster homes: without safe placement, we cannot say yes
✅ Financial support: medical care doesn’t pause, even when intake does
✅ Sharing this post: reaching the right people matters
This freeze is temporary, but how long it lasts depends on what support we can rally together. 💙
