Humane Society International/Canada is proud to announce that another series of our Animal Rescue Fund grants have been awarded to six outstanding shelters and rescue operations across Canada. Animatch, Bow Valley SPCA, Circle F Horse Rescue, Humane Society Yukon, Rest Q Animal Sanctuary and Vancouver Orphan Kitty Rescue Association will use the funds to help pay for much needed community projects in their efforts to protect animals in the upcoming year.

“The staff and volunteers that run these shelters and rescue groups presented impressive applications that highlighted their dedication to helping animals in their communities find new homes, recover from mistreatment or life on the street and live out their lives enjoying the love and care they deserve,” said Sayara Thurston, campaigner for Humane Society International/Canada.

HSI Canada’s Animal Rescue Fund is a grant program geared towards helping relatively small, established rescue organizations in their animal protection work by funding either a portion of their operational costs or an expansion project. HSI Canada animal rescue fund grants range from $1,000 to $5,000.
