Lost
and Found Pets...
Please be aware that if you find a pet you
legally MUST turn the animal into your local animal impound
to give the owners an opportunity to reclaim the animal.
If you wish to adopt the animal, should a home not be
located, ask the impound facility to contact you if the
animal is not reclaimed. Animal impounds are designed
to hold animals for owners to reclaim them, but can be
at risk of being euthanized if the owners do not come
in the elotted time period. We do try and assist whenever
possible - if you have dropped off a dog and wish to let
us know about it, please contact
us!

Pet Sitting
Services in Brandon...
We have been asked, on numerous occassions,
if the rescue would be willing to care for a pet during
an extended period of time, or in some cases even for a
weekend. We need our foster homes for the dogs in rescue
and can not volunteer their services for pet sitting. There
are, however, a few options if you are looking for pet sitting
services:
AREA BOARDING KENNELS
