Every bit of kindness goes a long way here. Whether it’s a donation, some much-needed supplies, or simply sharing what I do with others, your support helps me keep the dogs healthy, safe, and loved. I couldn’t do it without the people who care enough to get involved — thank you for being one of them.
LDR runs entirely out-of-pocket and receives no government funding. Every donation — no matter the size — directly supports the dogs in my care and is deeply appreciated. You can make donations through any of these methods:
Interac e-transfers are the quickest and easiest way to send funds online. Donations can be sent to localdog@gmail.com
Cheques, cash or money orders can be mailed to the address on the contact page.
*Note: As the rescue is a volunteer-run operation (not a registered charity), banking regulations require that cheques/money orders be made payable to me personally (Troy Way). You may add "Local Dog Rescue" in the memo section.
Donate directly to my account at Highview Animal Clinic when a dog requires veterinary care. This can be done in person or over the phone with a debit/credit card. Announcements for dogs requiring vet care will be posted on my Facebook page.
I feed the dogs one trusted brand of food to keep them healthy and avoid the stomach issues that can come from switching foods or using lower-quality options. The food I use is available at both Thunder Pet locations. If you’d like to help, food and treats can be purchased in-store and left for pickup — just let the staff know to add it to my account for the “Frequent Feeder” credit.
Gift cards from any of these stores are also greatly appreciated!
* Sorry, for health and safety reasons I can not accept open bags or expired foods.
We are always in need of blankets, in particular:
*Note - I do not give the dogs large comforters, duvets, dog beds etc with loose fluffy stuffing as they are difficult to wash/dry, and the stuffing can be hazardous if ingested.
