Every bit of kindness goes a long way here. Whether it’s a donation, some much-needed supplies, or simply sharing what I do with others, your support helps me keep the dogs healthy, safe, and loved. Your support means a lot and helps me keep things going around here.

Monetary Donations:

LDR is funded entirely out-of-pocket, with every donation going directly toward the care of the dogs. Your support helps make it all possible and is genuinely appreciated. Donations can be made using any of the methods below:

  • E-transfer:

    Interac e-transfers are the quickest and easiest way to send funds online. Donations can be sent to localdog-anti-bot-bit@-anti-bot-bitgmail.com

  • Postal mail:

    Cheques, cash or money orders can be mailed to the address on the contact page.

    *Note: As the rescue is a volunteer-run operation (not a registered charity), banking regulations require that cheques/money orders be made payable to me personally (Troy Way). You may add "Local Dog Rescue" in the memo section.

  • Donate to Veterinary Care:

    Donate directly to my account at Boreal Veterinary Hospital when a dog requires veterinary care. This can be done in person or over the phone with a debit/credit card. Announcements for dogs requiring vet care will be posted on my Facebook page.

Dog Food & Treats

I feed the dogs one trusted brand of food to keep them healthy and avoid the stomach issues that can come from switching foods or using lower-quality options. The food I use is available at both Thunder Pet locations. If you’d like to help, food and treats can be purchased in-store and left for pickup — just let the staff know to add it to my account for the “Frequent Feeder” credit.

Bedding & Towels:

We are always in need of blankets, in particular:

  • Flannel, microfibre, sherpa, fleece and cotton blankets
  • Baby blankets are great too!
  • Solid foam dog beds with removable/washable covers
  • Waterproof crib mattresses
  • Towels (medium to X-large, gently used)
  • Double/queen size fitted sheets

*Note - I do not give the dogs large comforters, duvets, dog beds etc with loose fluffy stuffing as they are difficult to wash/dry, and the stuffing can be hazardous if ingested.
