Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Foundation

Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Foundation volunteers take needy dogs, puppies, cats and kittens into their own homes and provide loving care until a suitable home is found.
Very few animals in this area are spayed and neutered, so the animal population grows exponentially. The statistic is if all a female dog's puppies survive and continue to breed, in five years sixty-five hundred puppies will be born. One cat gives rise to four hundred fifty thousand kittens in seven years.

Previous to our spay campaign, the only thing that checked the animal population on these two reserves was deaths due to predation, harsh winters, starvation, diseases and parasitic infestations. Paws and Claws Animal Rescue volunteers are dedicated to changing this situation.

Three years ago Paws and Claw began a spay program, free to residents on the Sunchild and O'Chiese Reserves. We have spayed approximately three hundred dogs and cats in this time.

Please help us spay more dogs and cats!

Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Foundation is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that coordinates a system of foster homes. We rescue animals in cooperation with the Sunchild and O'Chiese First Nations, and have done so for over eight years.


Paws and Claws Animal Rescue Foundation also runs a free spay campaign for reserve dogs and cats to prevent many unwanted puppies and kittens from being born to suffer.
