About Us
In the year 2000 a few animals lovers got to together and formed a small association
called Pet Save. We were a committed group of people who appreciated the value of
animals in their lives and just wanted to help a few dogs in need of a second chance.
Originally Pet Save only rescued dogs by by 2002, recognizing we lived in a community
with a severe cat overpopulation problem, we began to take in stray cats. Operating
on the principle that all life is precious, we were proud that we were the only
no kill shelter operating in our community.
It was shocking to learn how many family pets were seen as disposable and how many
ended their short lives in local pounds or on our city streets. The need for our
rescue group was overwhelming and in 2003, we became a registered charity. The first
few years were overwhelming as it was very hard to hear a sad story and do nothing
about it. We quickly grew to over 200 volunteers and today we are still 100% volunteer
and proud of our “NO KILL” policy . We have saved over 2500 cats, dogs, bunnies,
and even a few pot-belly pigs along the way.
We continue to grow each year and hope one day there will no longer be a need for
rescue groups like us. Until that time we remain committed to helping the homeless
and educating people on proper animal care so we may reshape the next generation
of pet owners.
At Pet Save, we believe every person has something to offer a homeless or orphaned
animal and one person at a time we can make a difference!
“The Greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals
are treated”
--Gandhi
