North West Animal Shelter

We are a registered charity. Our mandate is to operate an animal shelter to serve the Bulkley Valley, to rehome abused and abandoned animals.

What do you actually do for animals?
We work with the Town of Smithers to rehome their impounded dogs.
We foster and adopt rescue dogs and cats both locally and throughout BC and Alberta. We have sent dogs to new homes as far away as Philidelphia and Juno.

We fund raise to make sure our programs are funded and money is put aside in savings for our building.

We provide outreach to the community by visiting schools and providing education about animal welfare.

We offer spay and neutering assistance program to those who would otherwise not be able to afford the full cost.

We have formed relationships with nine outside rescue groups who post available animals on their web sites, and/or take them into their programs, or connect us directly to adoptive families.

We work closely with Hawkair who offer a wonderful service and reduced costs to fly our rescue animals south to Vancouver.

We assist to screen potential adopters. We assist with photos, transportation to the airport and to veterinary appointments.

We help to assess, exercise, train, and bathe rescued dogs.
