Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide assistance and support to dogs and puppies in need, particularly in First Nations communities and other areas, by offering veterinary care and facilitating their adoption into loving homes. Driven by the overwhelming need, we raise funds to ensure proper vetting, supplies, and transportation, and actively seek adoption opportunities through networking when the pace slows down.

Sarah Sobry is the newest member of the team as of July 2023 and she built and runs the website. Her volunteer work began over 20 years ago, although she hasn't been able to do nearly as much as she would like! She has trained 9 of her own dogs beginning over 30 years ago, and in almost every dog sport imaginable, but most of her experience is in obedience work. She has been a member of several dog clubs around the province, and volunteered her time as a board member of each. Besides teaching in dog clubs, she has about 8-9 years of 'official' experience as a teacher-trainer. She is a teacher of small humans in the Brandon School Division and resides in Brandon. She has been adopted by two rescue dogs and also shares the home with a beloved little papillon.
