Do you love working with animals? Well here is your chance! We are overflowing with puppies at the Shelter and are in desperate need of dedicated and passionate volunteers. Our volunteers assist the Animal Care staff with feeding, cleaning and caring of the Shelter animals. Shift times and duration are flexible – there is no commitment necessary. The Shelter is open Monday to Friday from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. Once the Volunteer Application and Waiver forms are signed, volunteers may come in as early as 9:00 am. Please note: Volunteers must be 14+
What you should know about the foster program at the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter is that we are in need of people who are able to help care for an animal who might be sick, injured or recovering from giving birth. They need a quiet room to relax and heal with a little bit of TLC. All we ask is that you have a spare room to house the animal until they are strong enough to come back to the shelter to be adopted. The length of time varies with each situation.
The Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter provides all foster families with food, food and water dishes, a litter box and litter (for pregnant/lactating cats and their kittens), blankets and toys, and support in case of emergency or other unforeseen issues.
Please call us at 204.832.PETS (7387) for more information or come down to the shelter to fill out an application. We look forward to meeting you and joining our foster group!
We are always in desperate need of the following items. If you are able to help, please drop any items off at the shelter during our business hours at 3062 Portage Avenue.

Many people don’t realize that we carry everything you need for your pet right at the Shelter! Toys, treats, food, accessories, leashes, coats, collars, you name it, we’ve got it! When you purchase your pet supplies from the Winnipeg Pet Rescue retail store, 100% of all proceeds go directly back to the animals in our rescue still waiting for their forever homes. This is a very simple way that you can buy the supplies you would anyways, AND support the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter.
