PLEASE DONATE TODAY

PayPal Or Canada Helps

 

100% of all donations received go to the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter. We do not use paid canvasers to help raise money for the shelter. It has come to our attention that there are canvassers out there

collecting money for animals shelters, but they take an average of 60%+ of your donation. When approached, always inquire as to whether all of the money reaches the actual charity collected for.

 

Greetings from the Founder & Executive Director - Carla Martinelli-Irvine

THE NEED PREVAILS

 

Charities do a great deal of good and are an intrinsic part of our society. They attend to the needy in our communities and somehow manage to continue in spite of almost insurmountable odds. Sometimes a recession or even natural disasters make a charities tasks even more challenging.

Such is the case with the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter; it receives no government funding and its fiscal solvency is entirely dependant on the goodwill of the animal lovers in and around Winnipeg. Notwithstanding high local unemployment rates and the ever present demand for charity assistance elsewhere, the needs of our innocent pets continue. They still require accomodation, vet care, food, etc. all of which costs money. They still need tender loving care and arrangement of adoptions to loving homes to give them just a chance for a safe and quality life.

Readers are respectfully asked to view the above prospective with a view to remembering the urgent needs of our otherwise helpless animals. Please consider making a donation today. Thank you

 

 

 

THE SHELTER IS FULL!!!!

We are currently full to capacity with puppies & kittens. A variety of types and ages. Please come and visit the Shelter and possibly adopt one today.

CAT OF THE MONTH - ANGEL

Hi! My name is Angel, I am 6 yrs old and as you can see I am beautiful. I have been at the shelter for almost a year now and I just can't understand why. I am quite a lovable girl, purring and following you around for attention. I can be self assured, preferring to do what I like and when I like. But trust me I am not difficult at all just slightly opinionated at times. If you have cozy, one pet home for this perfect girl please come down to the shelter today.

 

 

DOG OF THE MONTH - MAXX

Hello, My name is Maxx, spelled with two xx's, just so you know. I am different looking so I have to spell my name different. I am 2 years old and quite playful. I came into the Shelter because the other male dog and I were arguing over the pretty female dog that came to live with us. Women!!!! I get along fabulously with people and love to romp around. I am sure I could get used to other animals if I were only given the chance. Or if you would prefer to have an only dogchild like me, that would be okay too. I am really healthy and housebroken. Bonus!!! Please consider adopting me today.

THOSE ADDED EXPENSES…$25.00/month

Every so often we get newborn puppies and kittens that need special mother’s replacement milk to survive or a cat or dog that needs special food.
A badly matted cat or a dog with very dry skin will need special attention. For only 83 cents a day, the money raised here will be used to enhance the well being of all shelter animals.

HELP FEED A CAT OR KITTEN...$65.00/month

It costs the shelter approximately $2.25 a day to feed our cats and kittens. We are currently caring for 30 and are adding more cages in the near future!

SPONSOR A DOG KENNEL…$100.00/month

It costs the shelter approximately $3.33 a day to house our dogs and puppies. We are always full to capacity with dogs and puppies awaiting loving homes.
With daily walks and lots of attention, our adult dogs are always happy to meet new friends!

VETERINARY BILLS…$80.00/month

From booster shots to spaying and neutering, from frostbitten ears to hernia operations, our animals are always getting the best of care.
Any pet owner will know, veterinary bills add up. This is a huge expense for the shelter as every animal coming in gets health checked and will have immediate treatment when necessary.

RENT FUND…

If we could get 45 people to donate $75.00 a month each… It costs the shelter approximately $3,400 a month to keep a roof over our heads.
With all those precious animals in our care, we need to make them feel safe and loved in a clean and friendly environment until the right family comes along to adopt them.
With no government funding, this is a huge expense for the shelter as well.

SHELTER EXPANSION FUND….TARGET $50,000

Great News! We are expanding! We will be able to care for even more abandoned, abused or unwanted animals. We need to build additional cat cages and dog kennels,
build a new bird aviary and replace our existing dog kennels and puppy pens. We need to make a separate room for our special needs and sick pets
so they can get better away from all the hustle and noise of the daily shelter routine.
