ANIMAL OUTREACH
803 Waterloo St. London, Ont  N6A 3W5 (519) 439-3287
General Enquiries/Farm Animal Rescue: animaloutreachinfo@yahoo.ca   Cat Rescue: michelle@animaloutreach.ca                                  
Mission: To provide shelter & care for abandoned, neglected, unwanted, injured & abused domesticated animals. Animal Outreach believes in compassion to all animals, not just those traditionally accepted as our companions including a homeless cat rescue program (incl feral cats) & a farmed animal rescue program.


Animalert was founded in London, Ontario, Canada in 1977 by four animal lovers who wanted to ensure that pets were adopted by caring guardians. We now have about 35 active members, plus our large network of volunteers, which helps us spread the word about our adoption program and raise funds to offset our operating expenses. We are able to place about 250 cats and dogs a year into responsible, loving homes. Not bad for a volunteer group, but we'd like to do better and with your help, we can!

Our work focuses on three main areas: Adoption, Education, and Spaying/Neutering.

Animalert works independently of the London Humane Society and London Animal Care and Control Centre. We raise all of our money through adoption fees, private donations and fund-raising efforts, such as our annual Christmas bazaar. Because we have virtually no administrative overhead, approximately 90 per cent of our money is used for veterinary care, food and housing.

GRA CANADA
GRA Canada is committed to finding loving family homes for Greyhounds retiring from the racing industry. We are located in Southwestern Ontario, near London. We service Ontario as well as other areas of Canada and Northeastern United States.
Greyhound Relocation & Adoption will provide private families the opportunity to visit our facilities and socialize with the Greyhounds available for adoption. Come and see which Greyhound wishes to adopt your family. There is no need to wait months for your pet; we usually have 15 to 40 beautiful Greyhounds awaiting for their forever homes. Your new family pet will be spayed or neutered, teeth and ears cleaned, toenails clipped, rabies, and 4-way shots administered up-to-date, de-wormed, treated against fleas, and ticks, tested and -if necessary - treated for babesia and ehrlichia, receiving a complete physical examination, and a certificate of good health.
Your greyhound will come with a new set of "Martingale" collar and leash.
Retired racing Greyhounds usually range from two to five years of age,
but occasionally we may have some older or younger dogs who are in need of a family to love.

Pet Patrol is an entirely volunteer-run, non-profit organization in the Kitchener - Waterloo area.  We began in 1996 in recognition of the over population problem of felines in our community.  We give cats a second chance, and an opportunity for a full life as we are NO KILL.  Pet Patrol helps cats that have been abandoned, ill or homeless, to find new homes.  We are a registered charity and rely solely on donations to cover our extensive Veterinary costs, which can total $40,000 per year.  We receive no assistance from our municipality or government.

Pet Patrol does not believe an animal should be euthanized if they are unwanted or ill and can regain their health. We do everything in our capacity to make sure that all opportunities for the cat are met.  We not only rely on conventional Veterinary care, but also Chiropractic, Homeopathic, Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, specialized Dentistry and allergy testing. 

We also work to educate the community on the proper care of cats, and provide information aimed at reducing the homeless cat population in the KW and surrounding areas.
