Lakes Animal Friendship We are a non-profit group operated by animal-loving volunteers in the Burns Lake area of beautiful BC, Canada. Children are the most common dog bite victims.

We educate about animal care, compassion and dog bite safety. We help low-income families with spay/neuter, pet food and outdoor dog shelters. We are a non-profit society operated by animal-loving volunteers in Burns Lake, a small rural community in northwest British Columbia. We are working to make sustainable improvements in animal welfare in our community. We have developed successful programs that we hope will be useful examples to other communities just like ours. Healthy Animals, Families and Communities
Proper animal care is good for the animals and helps keep families and communities safe and healthy! Education
Making a difference starts with education! We educate students and other community members about animal care, compassion and bite safety. Proper animal care and safety skills help keep kids from getting hurt. Students learn about respect for each other and all living things. Spay/Neuter Programs
There are way too many animals and not enough good homes! Spaying and neutering ('fixing') is healthier for your pets, your family and community. We work with groups like the Canadian Animal Assistance Team and The Burns Lake Veterinary Clinic to help lower-income families have their pets spayed and neutered. Scroll Down For More
Dog Houses
Dogs and cats need a warm house for the winter. We fix and insulate donated dog houses. Local school groups and the College have also pitched in to build and paint new houses for dogs and cats in need! YOU can help the animals and help your community. ADOPT — don't buy a pet. SPAY / NEUTER your pet. FOSTER an animal in need. VOLUNTEER at our events. DONATE to our efforts.

🐈 Today is National Feral Cat Day! 🐈‍⬛

Feral cats, also known as "Community Cats", often live outdoors in colonies. While they don't rely on a single caretaker, community members still have a responsibility to provide resources, care, and protection for their well-being. Feral cats are sometimes misunderstood and even treated as pests. Building compassion and spreading awareness of the issues community cats face can help them live longer, healthier lives.

If you're looking for a resource to help children in your community learn more about how to help feral cats, check out the book "Nobody's Cats" by our friends and longtime APHE members, Valerie Ingram and Alistair Schroff of Lakes Animal Friendship! 🐾

Teaching kids to have compassion and empathy for their pets is vital for preventing cruelty to animals, as well as raising them to respect and treat those who are different from them with kindness.
