A Paw in Need!
Trixie was found injured and brought to us after most likely being hit by a car. She now requires the amputation of one of her black legs as it was shattered beyond repair. She's a sweet cat but unfortunately has no ID and after having no luck finding her owners, we are faced with thousands of dollars in veterinary expenses to give this girl a chance at a new home and a new life.
The CRD Animal Shelter is not funded to address these extreme medical cases and we want to help these animals, but can't do it alone; we need your help!
We are looking for donations to assist with medical care for Trixie and animals like her. Help us make a difference for the animals at the CRD Animal Shelter.
Donations
The CRD Animal Shelter is dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming unwanted, stray, and abandoned animals in the region. We also promote responsible ownership and the care and control of pets through education to create a brighter future for animals and their owners.
Your generous gift assists us in achieving this mission by providing veterinary care, emotional support, and behavioural rehabilitation for animals who need it. This directly improves the life of every animal in our shelter as they wait for their forever families.
The CRD Animal Shelter welcomes all kinds of donations, including cash donations, food, towels, blankets, pet beds, carrying cages, toys, and other animal-related equipment.
It's all about the animals! No portion of your donation is used to cover administration costs; 100% of your donation to the CRD Animal Shelter is used to directly benefit the animals in our care. Tax receipts are available for all donations over $10.
We accept donations:
- In-person: CRD Animal Shelter at 5401 Pat Bay Highway

Tax Advantages
A donation to the CRD Animal Shelter Legacy Program has tax advantages beneficial to you and/or your family or organization. A donation of cash or property may:
- provide a tax credit;
- provide an even better tax credit if the donation is in the form of securities;
- reduce taxes on your estate if provided in a will;
- provide immediate tax credit and lessen probate fees if the CRD Animal Shelter is the owner and beneficiary of an insurance policy; and,
- provide virtually tax-free income if you are 70 or over and the income is derived from a charitable gift annuity.
These are just a few of the ways that you can become a partner with the CRD Animal Shelter and benefit form reduced income or corporate taxes and probate fees.
