Frequently Asked Questions
Clinton Orr: The story of Pet Life Animal Fund initially began in 2012 with our adopted dog Bubba. We adopted him from a no-kill shelter after he had a particularly rough start in life. We took Bubba in when he was 5 years old and he served as a loving companion for 7 years before passing away in 2019. He had such an impact on our lives that my wife became a certified dog trainer and inspired us to get more actively involved with rescues. Once we realized how limited many shelters are in terms of budget, we decided to honour Bubba by creating the Pet Life Animal Fund.
Our mission is to help fund rescues that take in animals, care for them and find them a loving home. We are happy to work with organized animal charities across Canada, here’s a list of some of the organizations we’ve partnered with to date:
- Saving Grace Animal Society
- D’Arcy’s Arc
- New Start Standardbreds
- Dog Tales Charitable Foundation
- Paws and Claws Animal Rescue
- Edmonton Humane Society
- Zoe’s Animal Rescue
- Pembina Valley Humane Society
- Ca-R-Ma.Org Cat Rescue
- My Grandfather’s Cat
- Toronto Humane Society
That’s great news! You can contact one of our partners directly for more information on the specific procedures.
The biggest challenge is their budget. Most rescues and shelters can barely keep up with basic costs. They rely on donations from organizations like ours to provide the medical treatments that pets need. Our goal is to help cover as many of those essential costs as we are able to.
According to petkeen.com, the number of animals awaiting adoption in Canada is around 700,000. It’s a staggering number. Due to this, many animals are being euthanized simply because there aren’t enough resources available to care for them. It’s important for us to work with shelters who have no-kill policies for healthy animals.
Clinton Orr: We help raise awareness by sharing photos and stories to help get newly healthy pets adopted.
