Our story begins in 1982, when a group of committed citizens decided to roll up their sleeves to change the situation of animals in Outaouais. At the time, there were no animal shelters in the region, and those who were surrendered or unwanted were condemned to certain death.
With this in mind, our founders joined forces to create an organization that would come to the aid of local dogs, cats and other furballs. On May 5, 1984, we officially obtained our non-profit status!
Every year, we welcome and help over 3,000 animals, many of whom are in urgent need of specialized care. Whether it’s an injury, illness, behavioral disorder or special condition, our veterinarians and health team do their utmost to care for them and get them back on their feet. This includes personalized care, adapted treatments and attentive monitoring, to give them the best possible chance of a happy future!
Our patrol and investigation team, with its decades of experience, ensures that municipal and provincial laws and regulations are respected. We intervene to protect animals in situations of neglect or abuse, raise community awareness of animal welfare issues, and support citizens in their efforts to ensure the safety and health of animals. We make it a point of honour to intervene quickly and effectively, ensuring that every animal has access to a safe, respectful and loving environment.
What drives us every day is to contribute to the improvement of animal welfare in Outaouais. We firmly believe that every animal deserves a fur-ever family and the opportunity to thrive in an environment that meets its needs.
If you too would like to be part of this movement and offer cats, dogs and all other animals a serene, happy and joy-filled life, join us!
