Big Canoe Animal Rescue

WHY ADOPT FROM BIG CANOE ANIMAL RESCUE? • We are a community run no kill animal rescue. • We have over 50 volunteers who work at the shelter 3 times a day, 7 days a week • We are small enough to give each dog or cat individual attention each day. • Our dogs and cats receive the best Veterinary care. Each dog or cat is up to date on shots. All adult dogs and cats are neutered or spayed. • We have a financial program to spay or neuter puppies and kittens after adoption when they are ready. • We take the time to match the right dog and cat with the right owner. WHAT MAKES OUR DOGS/CATS SO SPECIAL? • All our dogs receive Obedience Training and know on average 5 to 8 different commands • Our trainer, Doris Dressler, is a CPDT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer). • Field Training is a daily exercise program for each dog and reinforces the obedience training they receive. • Our kennel environment allows the dogs and cats to play together and become very socialized with other dogs and cats. • Our intimate community and large volunteer staff allow our dogs and cats to socialize with people of all ages.
