(Toronto, ON – January 21, 2009): Helping Homeless Pets is answering the call of need and mobilizing to assist animals rescued through the recent puppy mill raids in Quebec. The appalling puppy mill conditions, which have shocked the nation, have taken a serious toll on these helpless animals; the list of ailments and injuries they suffer from too long to list. As a result, the dogs are in critical need of veterinary care and foster homes before they can be placed with adoptive families. Helping Homeless Pets is stepping up to assist with medical bills and its allied rescue groups have already started to take in foster dogs into their homes – the first safe-havens these vulnerable animals have ever known. Helping Homeless Pets is committed to raising funds through various events and campaigns to give these dogs a new leash on life that they so greatly deserve.

Upcoming Events: Helping Homeless Pets will be hosting the family and canine friendly “Barkham”, an annual feature at the Markham Music Festival on June 20, 2009. Please check the website often for upcoming events or sign-up for our e-newsletter for updates.
About Helping Homeless Pets:
Helping Homeless Pets is a non-profit organization that was created in November 2006 as a service to help pets that need new homes. We do this by directly supporting Pet Rescue Groups with desperately needed funds. Our mission is to support legitimate Pet Rescue Organizations by assisting them with certain services, such as paying for costly medical expenses, thereby allowing them to focus on the care and finding of a suitable home for the pets they have rescued. Available pets can be viewed on our website and are currently being housed and cared for by a rescue organization under our umbrella; they are available for adoption through those organizations. We believe every pet deserves a loving home. With the help of volunteers and the generosity of donors we strive to make this philosophy a reality for homeless animals.
Helping Homeless Pets and our member rescues gratefully thank you for your assistance and support.
