Ferret Aid Society
1250 South Service Road, Mississauga, Ontario

Most ferrets come to us either sick, malnourished or near death. We are a "no kill" shelter which means we never allow our ferrets to be put to sleep because they're old, if we're overcrowded or if they are diseased or ill and we can medically treat them. We rely on the donations of animal lovers to keep us running, and you're always welcome to adopt one of our babies.

The shelter is run on a volunteer basis and has no paid employees. We don't get any outside funding, even though we are a registered "not for profit" organization.

Our shelter officially opened it's doors to ferrets in Oct 1996. Lucky was our first successful rescue ferret. He came from a local Animal Pound where he was only hours away from being killed. Lucky is now happily living in B.C. with his new owner.

We love and treat all the ferrets who come into our doors as if they were our own. It's hard sometimes to see them go, but the good part of it is that we always know that they are going into a loving home with people who will love them as much as we did.

Freedom Valley Horse Rescue
983 Old Mill Rd, RR #3, Omemee, Ontario

Hi, welcome to the Freedom Valley Horse Rescue website. I am Christine my husband is Howie, we started this site to show you the horses that we have rescued and are looking for loving homes for, and to share our successes. The disturbing part of what we have to share with you is that it is estimated that over 100,000 Canadian horses and approximately the same number of horses brought in from the U.S. will be slaughtered for overseas consumers in 2008. Not all of these horses are old, lame or unmanageable. It is surprising the number of beautiful well handled horses that are purchased by meat buyers, their previous owners completely unaware that their beloved friend could possibly end up going to a place like that.
