Refuge Magoo

Our organization provides abandoned and neglected dogs with adequate shelter, healthcare, food and love they need in order to facilitate the rehabilitation process. Our dogs are first placed in the care of a temporary foster family for a necessary evaluation in order to transition into a forever family. Our organization is a non-kill rescue and with the exception of extreme terminal medical conditions, euthanization is never an option. The rescue is currently surviving day to day, trying to make ends meet and primarily to ensure the dogs have access to medical care which ends up consuming majority, if not all, of the rescue's budget. Our rescue ensures all of the dogs up for adoption are sterilized/neutered, receive basic vaccinations, preventative treatment against heart worm as well as microchipping. Sterilization/Neutering our dogs promotes the importance of population control and ending indiscriminate breeding. In 2014, over 53,000 dogs were admitted to rescues across Canada with over 15% of those dogs being euthanized. Our goal as a rescue is to save as many dogs within our power, most of which are from the 15% being euthanized. Our dogs often arrive sick, abandoned due to the lack of means to ensure a healthy recovery and brought to the vet to be euthanized. It is our mission to ensure they get the medical attention and the life they deserve. With the launch of our website and the continued dedication from our volunteers, we expect a bright 2016 filled with healthy dogs, lives saved and enough donations to continue what we firmly believe in.
