Resources + How You Can Help

How You Can Help
 - WRITE! in Canada, sled dogs are no different than livestock in the eyes of the law. Write the government to let them know that they are no different than the dogs who sleep on our beds, on our couches, on our laps... etc. They deserve care, compassion, enrichment and respect. 
- ADVOCATE!  learn about the commercial and sport sled dog industries so you can educate yourself with knowledge and speak up for sleddies! 
- ADOPT/FOSTER/FUNDRAISE! as long as there are sled dogs, rescues will need all kinds of help. If you can't adopt, maybe you can foster. If you can't foster, you can fundraise - from bottle drives to yard sales to however you can raise money! Sled dogs have often gone years without proper veterinary treatment and once into care, the bills pile up with not just spaying/neutering, but possible other treatments, food, harnesses, leashes and transportation to get them into care.
I volunteer with a local rescue, The Victoria Humane Society, and I've seen the bills that can pile up.
