After a year of virtually no means of fundraising we are SO excited to have partnered with the Tisol/Arbutus Street for this year‘s Pet Appreciation Month which starts TODAY until June 25, 2021!
Please visit the store and take that quick second to donate an item or a dollar or two. As a not for profit society, we rely on donations and like many, have had a very rough 18 months. Pet Appreciation is back!! On now until June 25th!
He travelled with 9 others from Paws Rescue Qatar! Conrad drove, flew, drove, boarded, then drove again but finally rolled into beautiful BC thanks to SO many amazing people along the way. So thankful for Alison, Emily, Tanya Quaranta, Michelle, and our Thank Dog I Am Out Dog Rescue transport team led by Rick and Jodi. Not to mention the tireless coordination efforts of Mary Milton! Conrad is now decompressing at his Saluki savvy foster home. Conrad will be available for adoption soon – remember , he is a miracle pup! Nothing but awesomeness from here onward! Check out his before and after photos below…
PSA announcement! This is a long one, but we really felt we needed to explain some things to all the people out there looking to adopt or buy a dog or animal. To explain what our system and processes look like in regards to organizations or the government, and to why you are maybe not hearing back from rescues, have heard back but wasn’t approved, or have heard back and been approved, but still can’t seem to be chosen for a dog or rescue animal. To try and explain both sides of the spectrum from the rescue organizations stand point, and from the applicants, adopters, or just the interest of getting a dog from somewhere standpoint. I think education and awareness is so key to creating a better future for all animals and for the people that want to have or help them in one way or another. Please, hang in there! We know it’s hard, frustrating and down right upsetting sometimes. We feel your pain, we do. When we all come together as one to raise awareness and educate ourselves, to use our voice to protect the ones that can’t protect themselves, we will create a better world for all animals, and humans, together, as one. PS. I never claimed to be the best speaker or find the best words, I just try to do my best in the ways I know how. Hopefully this helps in any way possible. Thank you from all of us at RainCoast Dog Rescue, and even other rescue organizations.♥️🐾

A public service announcement from Thank Dog I Am Out founder Susan Patterson warning dog owners not to leave their dog unattended at any time. Dog thefts have been on the rise in the Vancouver area, and are only getting worse. Dogs are being stolen and re-sold, kept as companions and or shipped out of province to be re-sold as a rescue. Keep your dog safe – NEVER leave them unattended.
