The McDonald Family has been rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing small domestic and exotic animals for more then ten years. Most of the animals we take in are small exotic and domestic animals such as reptiles, amphibians, rabbits, rodents, and birds. Cats and dogs are taken in on a case to case basis, but as we can only house a couple at our facility at a time we depend on foster families to house them while in our care. The animals at 'The McDonald Family Animal Rescue' end up here after their prior owners, for whatever reason, can no longer care for them, while others are abandoned or rescued from neglect or abuse.
We are a smalll, family run organization that recently became a provincially registered charity (#322490). We are supported primarily by our own personal incomes, and the occasional donation from outside sources. We have received a few very generous donations of cash and supplies in the past, which we are extremely grateful for, and if it wasn't for the donations of cages and accessories, we wouldn't be able to operate as we do right now. We also have a few extremely loving, dedicated foster homes. Now that we have obtained our Charitable Status, we will be able to embark on larger fundraising campaigns, and more easily access benefits from companies and corporations, government grants, etc. The opportunities presented to us are many and 2009 is shaping up to be a very exciting and pivotol year in the development of 'The McDonald Family Animal Rescue Association'.
Due to the fact that we have limited funding and space, we have to turn away far too many animals, and it breaks our hearts. We hope to one day be able to accept more of these animals, who so desperately need us and to become an actual sanctuary. Our long term goal is to expand our rescue to a large expanse of land so that we can rescue larger domestic and exotic animals, primarily farm animals and livestock that would otherwise just be sent to slaughter. We long to give animals like this the chance to live out their rest of their lives in comfort, surrounded by those that love them.
