Valley Animal Rescue

Valley Animal Rescue Our email address is [email protected] Valley Animal Rescue is a volunteer animal rescue organization in the Renfrew area.

The backbone of our operation is a network of committed foster homes that care for, socialize, and help prepare animals for adoption. We also occasionally have our animals in temporary foster care at boarding facilities if a suitable foster home is not immediately available. Our greatest needs are foster families, funding and volunteers. For more information email [email protected].

Tommy and Lucca are looking for pledges to raise funds in support of the Renfrew Lions Club Walk for Dog Guides this Sunday, May 31st, sponsored by Renfrew Pet Valu.
Our Dog Coordinator, Sharon, will be walking with Tommy and Lucca.

If you'd like to make a pledge for Tommy and Lucca, please email [email protected] and put Tommy and Lucca in the Subject. All pledges will go to the Walk for Dog Guides.

Tommy is a VAR foster dog who came into rescue at just a little over 2 lbs. Tommy was in poor health. He was being used for breeding prior to coming into rescue. He weighs 3 lbs. 2 oz. now, but at times it's a struggle to keep that weight on. He has an adoption pending. Tommy is having surgery in July, and once that happens his adoption will be finalized. The other dog in the picture, Lucca, is Sharon's own dog.

We're also a vendor at this event, so please stop by our table to purchase a bandana, baking, and other items.

URGENT! WE ARE IN NEED OF A FOSTER FOR SAM

Sam needs help! He's at a shelter and has a deadline of May 30th to find rescue.

We want to help this young dog to have another chance at life. We need the funds and a foster home in order to bring him into rescue. We estimate his initial vetting including a health check, vaccines, a 4DX blood test to check for Lyme and Heartworm, and tick medications will cost us about $450. We won't know if there's any other vetting needs until we can get him into rescue.
For anyone wanting to make a donation to help us with his expenses, you can do so in the following ways:
At his account at Canada Helps by choosing the account name Saving Sam
https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/valley-animal-rescue/

Or by etransfer to [email protected] and in the comments please include Saving Sam. If you would like a donation receipt, please include you home address and email address.

If you would like to make a cash donation, please send an email to [email protected] and put Saving Sam in the subject.

We also need a foster home for Sam before we can bring him into rescue. As we have no information on any past experiences of him with young children, if there's children in the foster home, they should be 12 and up. If you're interested in fostering Sam please send an email to [email protected] and put Saving Sam in the subject. The rescue pays for vetting, and provides supplies during foster care.

As you can see there's not much information in his shelter profile and this is all we have to go on. Between the dotted lines is his profile from the shelter he's at:
Note: We are an approved rescue.

Look who's been adopted! It's Jax, our handsome German Shepherd/Malinois mix. Jax was in foster care for 11 months before he found his furever family, but as the saying goes "good things come to those who wait". We don't rush these animals out the door. We take the time to find the right match for the animal and the humans. It's a very important decision for the rest of the animal's life!

Jax is the last to be adopted of the litter of 6 German Shepherd/Malinois pups that we took into rescue last year. He had a few potential applicants along the way, but for one reason or another, they felt Jax wasn't the right fit for them. His wonderful foster family, Natalia, Robert and son, Mark, were happy to foster him until the right home came along.πŸ’•

Along came Kathleen and Marshall who were looking for a dog for their farm, and we were hopeful that this could be the right match. We felt that Jax needed a job or jobs, to keep him mentally and physically stimulated as he is very smart, so the possibility of him living on a farm was welcomed. After going through the application process and meeting him, Kathleen and Marshall wanted to adopt him, and soon they welcomed Jax into their home.

It was a bit rough at first while Jax adjusted to his new surroundings and new people. He was on hyper alert of everything in his new environment, including new people that came to their home. But we are delighted to say that Kathleen has reported on at least 2 occasions that Jax has become "quite the farm dog" and has settled right in. Kathleen told us recently of how smart he is. She said a package was left at their gate at the end of the laneway, one that they could barely even see from a distance, but Jax focused on it being there and barked to let them know.

The family has cattle and chickens, and a cat named 007, so Jax has new animal friends too!

A HUGE THANK YOU to his wonderful foster, Natalia, Robert and Mark for all the love and care given to Jax.πŸΎπŸ’•

CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU to Kathleen and Marshall for their patience and compassion while Jax learned to trust new people and become settled in their home.

We hope you enjoy these pictures of Jax's journey from foster care to adoption. πŸΎπŸ’•

WE ARE IN NEED OF VOLUNTEER HELP FOR THE EMPTIES COLLECTION BINS AT THE SAND ROAD WASTE SITE, EGANVILLE, ONTARIO. YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED πŸ’•

Due to the overwhelming response and generosity of the community since we started collecting a few weeks ago at this location, we are in need of ongoing volunteer help for our new Empties Collection Program there. The money we raise from empties helps us to pay vet bills.

Volunteers are needed to gather the empties on Mondays, Wednesdays & Saturdays, and take them to either Pembroke or Renfrew to cash them in, and then submit the empties money to us. Please note: You would not be expected to go all 3 days. We are looking for various volunteers to share the days.

If you have questions or would like to volunteer please email our Empties Program Coordinator at [email protected]

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to date. πŸΎπŸ’•

These cuties are 6-8 weeks away from being available to adopt.Stay tuned!
