OUR PROGRAMS

Our Spay/Neuter and Return Program supports pet owners who have challenges accessing or affording the veterinary care their pets need.
We offer to take in, care for, and vet these dogs so they can safely return home to their families while reducing the risk of overpopulation in their communities.
This program allows eligible Saskatchewan residents to have their pet spayed/neutered and receive other veterinary services at a low cost.

This program aims to positively impact the number of unowned dog populations in our province.
A sustainable spay/neuter and return program is an essential step to addressing dog populations that have surpassed the capacity of local communities to adequately care for them.

If your pet could benefit from this program, please email our medical director at medical@saskatoondogrescue.com to see if you qualify!

Our community outreach program provides informal pet therapy to vulnerable populations in Saskatoon.
A sense of connection is important for mental and physical wellbeing, and our community outreach program was created to foster a sense of connection for people who need it most by providing puppy therapy to vulnerable populations within Saskatoon.
We all have a biological, basic human need to make purposeful connections, and our community outreach program was designed to create opportunities for Saskatoon’s vulnerable populations to have meaningful interactions through puppy therapy.

When people, particularly older adults and people with complex needs, are given opportunities to interact with animals, it can have a therapeutic effect and improve overall wellbeing.
Visits from our puppies can provide an event to look forward to and a welcome change from routine while also bringing comfort and cheer.
A visit from our outgoing dogs promotes interaction and engagement for those who need it most.
A visit from an affectionate and playful animal creates a point of connection between individuals and the pet, and between the people who are bonding over the shared experience.
